WINNER
The Food Section
Hanna Raskin, Editor and Publisher
Three issues of “The Food Section”: “Decision of a Lifetime,” February 19, and “Squab Slip Through the Cracks,” March 4, by Hanna Raskin, and “Intermediary Fajitas,” published with The Assembly, by Tina Vasquez, July 15

The Food Section’s mission is “Covering food and drink across the American South as though it mattered as much as crime and politics (because it does).” And with a full-time staff of one, this newsletter delivers. Whether reviewing dining rooms in retirement communities or investigating the possible dangers lurking in the supply of squab, The Food Section provides a feast for the reader, which begins with food criticism and social commentary and ends with twisty journeys and unexpected delights.
