Congratulations to the James Beard Media Award winners — the best of the best in food writing and broadcasting. Here's a post from @Eater listing all the winners — a couple of whom have collaborated with @Flipboard in the past.
In 2020, @Flipboard worked with K.J. Kearney, creator of Black Food Fridays, who has just been announced as winner of the James Beard Award for Social Media Account. Here's his fantastic Storyboard on why we all need to talk about Black cuisine, which features stories about the significance of pound cake and Hennessy, the commodification of resistance, and books about Black food history.
