Winner of the James Beard Media Award for Best Food Podcast.
April 26, 2019
We are proud to announce that Copper & Heat has won the 2019 James Beard Foundation Broadcast Media Award for Best Podcast.
We are beyond thrilled to receive this recognition from the James Beard Foundation, and it was an honor to be nominated in the company of The Racist Sandwich and The Feed.
Our vision for the podcast from the beginning has been to bring to light the stories of the cooks who are doing the work outside of the spotlight. Our first season, Be A Girl, focuses on the experience of being a woman working in fine dining kitchens, and the challenges that we face. It is fantastic to have the James Beard Foundation recognize the importance of those voices and stories across the list of nominees and winners this year.
About the 2019 James Beard Awards
The 2019 James Beard Media Awards were held in New York City on Friday, April 26, 2019. The exclusive event honored the nation's top cookbook authors, culinary broadcast producers and hosts, and food journalists and took place at Pier Sixty at Chelsea Piers. The Media Awards recognize radio, television broadcasts, podcasts, webcasts, and documentaries appearing in 2018.
This year’s theme, “Good Food For Good” is synonymous with the James Beard Foundation’s mission. It is the simple summation of what the organization stands for, from unique and delicious dining experiences at the James Beard House and around the country, to scholarships, mentorships, and a variety of industry programs that educate and empower leaders in the food community. The Foundation has built a platform for chefs and asserted the power of gastronomy to drive behavior, culture, and policy change around food. With this theme, the annual Awards aim to bring attention not only to its deserving winners but to the Foundation’s overall mission as well.
