Delicious TV Gets Recognized at Second Annual TASTY Awards

The Second Annual TASTY Awards are set to honor the stars of food and fashion TV on Thursday, January 13 in Hollywood.

Comparing the awards ceremony to others in the genre, a press release from their PR folks states “The TASTY Awards are for food, fashion, and home lifestyle programming what the Grammys are for music and the Oscars are for Film.”

Affectionately known as the “Tasties”, honors are given in categories like “Best Food Program Television”, “Best Reality Series: Food or Drink”, and “Best Fashion or Design Program: Web”.

Nominees in these and the twenty or so other categories include the best of the best in food and fashion media.  Popular shows like “Top Chef”, “Good Eats”, and “Throwdown with Bobby Flay” are present across the board.

Not surprisingly, Food Network is well represented with almost 30 nominations; 10 of these are in the “Best Male or Female Host in a Series”.  But seriously; Food TV is what they do right?  They’d better be the best at it! 🙂

The Tasty Awards winners will be announced and receive their honors this Thursday at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. Immediately following the red carpet show and ceremony, winners and VIPS will enjoy a gourmet wine, food and chocolate after party.

My guess is everyone will be eager to get the ceremony over and done with to see what’s bring tray-passed at the party!

If you can’t make the show or the party, portions of the program will be filmed for broadcast on local television stations later in the year as well as on Hulu.com.
