This Just in: O.C. Press Club Awards Announced!

  • June 1, 2016
  • Brad A. Johnson

It was another great year at the O.C. Press Club Awards. I am honored to be named best restaurant critic again, sweeping the first and second place prizes for my reviews of Twenty Eight and Tra House.

Not only that, I was the first runner-up for the most prestigious David McQuay Columnist of the Year Award. Plus I took home prizes for photography (Where to eat in Mexico’s Riviera Maya) and food writing (Guide to Dining in OC’s Little Saigon).

I am truly grateful for the recognition of all the work that I do. Pardon me while I pat myself on the back. (*big smile)

For the full list of awards, check out the O.C. Press Club announcement.

For more travel inspiration and photos, I invite you to follow me and join the conversation on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Photo Diary: Eating and Drinking During the 2020 Quarantine

Feeling blessed. Out of more than 10,000 entries from 70 countries, I've been shortlisted in two categories in the 2021 Food Photographer of the Year competition. Thank you, @foodphotoaward ⁠⁠ 97 18
Maybe I’m biased because I grew up eating this kind of sausage from the old German smokehouses in the Texas Hill Country, but I believe the dry hunter sausages from Central Europe — landjäeger, gyulai, cabanossi and the like — are some of the best charcuterie in the world. And I finally found them in OC at Mattern Sausage Deli in Orange. Story online now at ocregister.com @ocregister⁠⁠ 99 6
