On January 15, seven North Carolina food and drink makers were awarded medals at the Good Food Awards in San Francisco. The ceremony recognizes the best makers throughout the United States and across 13 different categories, including charcuterie, coffee, chocolate, cheese, beer, and spirits.
According to SFGate, “This year’s competition received 1,937 submissions from 33 states around the country. The final 176 winners were determined by a blind tasting held last September by a panel of over 200 industry experts.”
