NEW YORK, May 7, 2009 – Epicurious.com, the most award-winning food site, continued its winning streak Sunday night with its second consecutive James Beard Journalism Award for Best Website Focusing on Food, Beverage, or Nutrition.

The James Beard Award is the latest in a recent winning streak for Epicurious.com, including two MPA Digital Awards (for “Website of the Year: Service & Lifestyle” and “Best Online Community”), one New York Emmy Award (for the site’s video series “Around the World in 80 Dishes”), and an ASME nomination (for “Best Interactive Feature”).
