WINNER
Food & Wine
Hunter Lewis, Editor in Chief
Edited by Karen Shimizu
“The City That Rice Built,” article by Jeff Gordinier and George McCalman, September; video directed by Fabienne Toback and Karis Jagger, August 20 at foodandwine.com; and social media @foodandwine on Instagram, September 23

Combining lush print and digital experiences and in-person events, "The City That Rice Built” provided expert advice on both travel and cooking. With innovative storytelling and exceptional attention to detail—from the floral arrangements featuring strands of rice at the live events to a beautifully produced video—the Food & Wine team expertly wove together economics, people and food to explain the founding of Charleston, South Carolina, while skillfully telling the story of Gullah cooking.
