Well, tonight is the 12th annual International Taste awards in Hollywood, California, and I have not one, but TWO films up for 6 possible awards. I have no words other then wow. I am so excited to have these films be part of such an amazing event, one that has showcased the works of most of my idols.

Here’s the two films that have risen to the top…

Italy in Bocca – A journey of two friends to reconnect through four amazing dishes from the worlds funkiest cookbook collection.

  • Best Short Film or Documentary (10-40 Minutes)
  • Best Filmed at Home Episodes or Film

Sobrino De Botin – an intimate look at the worlds oldest restaurant and how it’s still making magical dishes after 300 years of continual operation.

  • Best Food Program – Online and Streaming
  • Best Food Travel Series – Online and Streaming
  • Best New Series
  • Best Mini Film or Documentary (5-10 Minutes)

Here is a livestream of the event tonight, 5:30PM PST:

Or join me on Facebook or Instagram where I will attempt to livestream me watching and quickly getting intoxicated off imported capocolla and Jura wine. 


Much love to everyone that made these films possible including Get Lost Magazine  Peter Boggia of Moto Borgotaro  Pete Crimi of Sound Lounge  Brad Stuart & Jackie Farris, and of course, my mother, who I promised I would thank first if I ever won an Oscar, and this might be the closest I will come;)

Fingers Crossed!
