WINNER
Eater
Amanda Kludt, Editor in Chief
“Filling Up,” edited by Lesley Suter, May 26

Judges' Citation
A wide-ranging look at roadside service stations, “Filling Up” is so much more
than a collection of stories about coffee, cigarettes and gasoline.
The judges called this package “sparkling” and, yes, “meaty.”
