OC Press Club Awards!

Great news from the Orange County Press Club Awards last night! I am happy to announce that I received six awards — the most individual awards of any journalist at the gala. I am humbled and honored to have swept 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in the restaurant-review category (for Waterman’s Harbor, Orsa & Winston and Faith & Flower, respectively). I was also recognized for my articles about the best (and worst) steaks in Orange County, the 2014 Restaurant Awards and my travel piece about pozole in Zihuatanejo. In all, my colleagues at the OC Register took home more than 40 awards. Congratulations to all of my coworkers and illustrious competitors who were also honored last night.
