The TASTE AWARDS Announce Three New Award Categories in 2025

The TASTE AWARDS are pleased to announce three new award categories in 2025. These are: Best Host Chef in a Series, Best Reality Competition Chef, and Top Model or Best Beauty Personality.

We’re thrilled to announce a fresh evolution in the Taste Awards that recognizes the dynamic and diverse world of culinary storytelling. For the very first time, we are splitting our longtime Best Chef in a Series category into two distinct honors:

Best Host Chef in a Series — spotlighting the charismatic chefs who lead and host cooking and lifestyle series, guiding audiences through recipes, culture, and culinary adventures.

Best Reality Competition Chef — celebrating the talented chefs who compete fiercely on reality cooking competition shows, showcasing creativity, skill, and resilience under pressure.

The culinary world is vibrant and varied — from the seasoned host sharing their passion for food across multiple episodes to the rising star battling it out on reality TV, both deserve their own spotlight. This change allows us to honor the unique talents and contributions that each brings to the screen.

This new category reflects the growing popularity and impact of reality cooking competitions, which have captivated millions and launched many chefs into the spotlight. Meanwhile, our beloved host chefs continue to inspire and educate millions with their expertise and charm. Whether you’re a culinary host or a reality competition star, the Taste Awards is your stage to shine and gain the recognition you deserve.

The TASTE AWARDS are far more than just an event — they are the global benchmark for excellence in lifestyle media. Think Michelin Star. Think Oscar. Think Emmy — but dedicated to food, fashion, travel, health, and culture. They don’t simply recognize achievement; they set the standard for what the world defines as truly worthy of taste. Every year, the TASTE AWARDS celebrate the finest in Television, Film, Online & Streaming Video, Podcasts, Radio, and Photography — honoring the creators who elevate the way we eat, live, dress, move, and feel. This isn’t just recognition. It’s your passport to influence, visibility, and an enduring legacy.
