Just Announced: 60th Annual SoCal Journalism Awards!

  • June 26, 2018
  • Brad A. Johnson

The Los Angeles Press Club just announced the winners of the Southern California Journalism Awards, and I’m thrilled to have won Best Food Criticism for my reviews in the Orange County Register for the second year in a row. It’s always an honor just to be considered, but admittedly way more fun to win. Congratulations to all the amazing finalists and award recipients. Here’s the full list of awards. And here are two of the reviews that got me into the competition this year.
