The 'Best Vegetarian restaurant' category has been replaced with the broader 'Ethical Eatery' so it will be revealing to see which places get shortlisted for that. Will local produce trump organic? @Zooeybitz

Or the panel-judged 'Best Achievement? The Observer, however, can't control what the public actually chooses to nominate, if we all vote for a 'gurning TV chef' (and I've no idea whom you mean, natch) then that's exactly who'll win it. That's democracy for you... @ Zooeybiz

True – a ‘Food story of the year’ might be a nice touch, but that’s sort of umbrella’d under the ‘Food Personality’ award, isn’t it? Or the panel-judged ‘Best Achievement? The Observer, however, can’t control what the public actually chooses to nominate, if we all vote for a ‘gurning TV chef’ (and I’ve no idea whom you mean, natch) then that’s exactly who’ll win it. That’s democracy for you…

I'm thinking bio-fuels, the environmental impact of eating meat, air miles... Surely that would be more relevant and thought provoking then giving another rosette to some gurning TV 'chef'?
