This year’s San Diego Press Club Excellence in Journalism (J-Awards) competition results were just announced and I received three awards for food writing. I earned the top award in the Magazine Food & Restaurant category for my piece for Edible San Diego on Chino Farms. And San Diego Foodstuff received second- and third-place honors for my posts respectively on dealing with diabetes and making dill pickles.

Additionally, San Diego Wine and Dine, which had a radio show I co-hosted, received First Place in the Integrated Media: Food & Restaurant category for our coverage of “Amaya: Easy Going Elegance at The Grand Del Mar.”
