This year, we’re celebrating an important milestone. To mark 40 issues of Foodism, we’re launching Foodism 40, an event that toasts the changemakers who are committed to bettering our industry. Supporting the local community has been a cornerstone of Foodism’s mission over the past eight years, and now it’s time to put the spotlight on those pushing it forward.

We’re celebrating 40 amazing individuals — from champions of diversity to sustainability superstars and culinary tourism titans — by bringing them all under one roof and giving them the official stamp of recognition they deserve. The team at Foodism will painstakingly whittle a pool down to 40 individuals in the food, beverage and culinary tourism industry who are doing incredible things in the following categories:
Champions of DEI
Diversity, equity & inclusion are at the forefront for these passionate professionals.
Leaders in Sustainability
These eco-conscious chefs and entrepreneurs are inspiring us to care more about our planet.
Industry Innovators
From technology shakeups to new ways of thinking about food, these innovators are doing things that have never been seen before.
Community Changemakers
The food and beverage leaders who are using their platforms to create positive, impactful change in their communities.
Tourism Trailblazers
Culinary tourism gurus who bring the world into our backyard.

On Wednesday November 1, get dressed up and join us at a state-of-the-art event space in an unparalleled location on Toronto’s waterfront. Enjoy a night unlike any other as we celebrate the extraordinary people in our food and beverage industry.
The bites and sips will be top notch and from some of Toronto’s best. To make the night even sweeter, one lucky guest will win a trip for two to beautiful St. Kitts. The Caribbean island is a gorgeous vacation destination that checks all of the boxes. Visitors can expect a range of unique and high-quality dining experiences, from casual beachside eateries to romantic fine dining and farm-to-table fare. Plus, it's home to an unexpected mix of relaxation on sun-drenched beaches and adventurous activities.

Eat, imbibe and mingle with the city’s biggest players in the local food scene.
