Seven categories, including Best Restaurant, Best Boutique Restaurant, Best Bar/Lounge, Best Wine Program, Culinary Innovator, Newcomer of the Year, and Baking and Pastry Chef of the Year, were selected by the JWU ZEST™ Awards judging panel, which included faculty from the JWU College of Culinary Arts and local hospitality leaders. The Reader’s Choice Awards for Best Food Blog and Best Food Reporting were selected by community vote and the University administration selected the honoree for the Community Leader Award, which highlights an individual who has had an impact on the local community.
