Congratulations to all the winners
Today, the James Beard Foundation announced its Media Awards winners for 2020. An online announcement replaced the usual New York City ceremony, originally scheduled for earlier this month, and later today, the Foundation will hold a live virtual event to discuss the winners and the state of media amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Once known known as the Book, Broadcast, and Journalism Awards, the media awards honor work in those categories from 2019. A few of today’s big winners include Josh Niland’s The Whole Fish Cookbook, which wins in the “restaurant and professional” category and for Book of the Year; chef Roy Choi for outstanding personality; and Pati’s Mexican Table, which wins for television program (in studio or fixed location) for the second year in a row.
The rescheduled James Beard restaurant and chef awards are planned for September 25. As of now, the awards will still take place in Chicago, but the final format isn’t confirmed.
Below, the full list of media winners:
