Nation’s Restaurant News, the premier independent publication covering and serving the entire foodservice industry, was honored with a 2022 Eddie Award for its Extra Serving Podcast Series, winning Best Podcast in the B2B Category. Extra Serving is a series of weekly podcasts hosted by the Nation’s Restaurant News editorial team, covering the latest and most relevant topics in the foodservice industry, including emerging chains, food trends, technology, and more. The podcasts feature insights on the latest industry headlines from Nation’s Restaurant News’ editors, as well as weekly guests such as restaurant owners and operators, CEOs, chefs, culinary experts, and technology and operations executives. The show is available on the Nation’s Restaurant News website and is also distributed through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast delivery platforms.
The Folio: Eddie & Ozzie Awards are a prestigious awards program celebrating excellence in editorial and design in the publishing industry. The 2022 Eddie & Ozzie Awards received more than 1,300 entries across nearly 170 categories. The winners were announced in a ceremony September 13 at City Winery in New York City.
“Podcasting as a media platform holds so much potential for informing and educating audiences. We recognized that potential in early 2021 and knew we needed a dedicated podcast strategy that went beyond simply posting an interview and calling it a day,” said Sam Oches, editor-in-chief of Nation’s Restaurant News. “Our revamp of Extra Serving centered around more personalized, informative content that leverages the expertise of our Nation’s Restaurant News editorial team, and this award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of those editors who create a product week in and week out that provides incredible value to the restaurant industry.”
That revamp of the Nation’s Restaurant News Extra Serving podcast has been extremely well received, with listens tripling from 2021 to 2022.
