The 2023 Good Food Awards Ceremony will honor the winners on Friday, April 21 in Portland, OR (hey, PDXtoday 👋).

The Greenville city seal. It's a black and white round wheel-looking object, with the words "City of Greenville, South Carolina, 1831" around the border. On the inside, a star representing people, mountains/trees, and a cog to represent industry line the circle to give the impression of unity within a wheel.
