Feeling Nostalgic for Live Awards Shows? The TASTE AWARDS Special Premiere of the First Show from 2010

You can Watch the Very First Event

THE 1st Annual TASTE AWARDS

2010 Premiere Show Broadcast

DECEMBER 6 on FACEBOOK LIVE


Join us in watching the Facebook Premiere of the entire show from the 1st Annual Taste Awards (aka Tasty Awards) filmed in 2010.

The TASTE AWARDS began as the Taste Awards and the Tasty Awards, and then eventually consolidated under the title, the TASTE AWARDS.

This first-ever awards show was groundbreaking for food, fashion and lifestyle broadcast and film creators. No other show focused on these topics, and the excitement ever since around these awards has grown annually.

The first awards show took place in San Francisco, and featured a lineup including celebrities and producers such as Anthony Bourdain, Zane Lamprey, Tanya Holland (OWN), Gary Vaynerchuk, Debi Mazar, Nathan Lyon, Marcy Smothers, Novella Carpenter, Dominique Crenn, Marissa Churchill, Bobby Bognar, Zero Point Zero, Joanne Weir, No Reservations, Flip TV, Anita Chu, Cooking for the Clueless, Jolene Sugarbaker, Preeti Mistry, Average Betty, Seiji Horibuchi (Viz Media), Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (Chris Miller, Phil Lord), Justin Kan (Justin.tv, Twitch), Leslie Sbrocco (Check Please, Bay Area), Laurine Wickett, Elizabeth Howes, Philip Gums, E.C. Morgan, the Culinary Institute of America, and more.

Who could have predicted the even greater things these attendees would do. For example:

  1. Justin Kan would go on to found Twitch, and sell it Jeff Bezos (Amazon)
  2. Dominique Crenn would be named one of the best chef’s in the world
  3. Anthony Bourdain would permanently change the entire way food and travel storytelling was conceived and delivered
  4. Chris Miller and Phil Lord would make even bigger film hits such as The Lego Movie, Cloudy 2, and 21 Jump Street.
The TASTE AWARDS Committee is proud to say that we have helped support this field, and it is a pleasure for us to say, “We were there in the beginning!” Now you can too.

Watch it on Sunday, December 6th at 11am on Facebook Live HERE
