Meet our Judges
Laurie Hepworth
Editor, Edible Southeastern Massachusetts
Laurie Hepworth has been celebrating local food, drink, and great times through the edible Southestern Massachusetts magazine since 2008.
The magazine highlights local chefs, and the best place to eat, or buy local ingredients, with tried and true mouthwatering recipes. As a long-time curator of all things local and food, and as somebody who cares about hunger, Laurie is going to be a judge who is both compassionate and kind, but tough to impress.
