Good Food Awards comes to the San Francisco Ferry Building this weekend. It's a celebration of food in the categories of beer, charcuterie, cheese, chocolate, coffee, pickles, preserves and spirits. The awards draw attention to the most delicious, authentic (no artificial ingredients) and responsible food (GMO-free, respect and fair compensation). More details on the
guiding principles here.
The awards are a great way to learn about some of the best speciality foods being produced in America today and if you come to the award ceremony or the marketplace, a chance to meet the makers firsthand. After the winners are announced, the winning products and the rest of the finalists and even last year's winners, will be available nationwide in a dedicated Good Food Awards e-store on
Gilt Taste. Other sponsors include
Whole Foods Market,
Williams-Sonoma and
Bi-Rite Market so expect some of the winners to be carried at those stores as well.
Last year's winners included some of my favorite things, including prosciutto from
La Quercia, Red Hawk cheese from
Cowgirl Creamery. the Salty Sweet Cashew bar from Charles Chocolates and the
Ellelle Kitchen's Central Coast Raspberry jam. If you are not in the industry and attending the
Fancy Food Show next week (or even if you are), this is a great way to discover new and tasty things.
MarketplaceTaste, buy and celebrate the award winning products from craft producers in 26 states who are redefining ‘good food’ by creating products that are not only tasty, but also authentic and responsibly produced.
