Early Light Media

Behind every project that earns recognition, there’s a team of people who work tirelessly to get it right.

Pati’s Mexican Table Season 14 had that in abundance — and now it has a James Beard Award to show for it.

To the many collaborators - participants, crew, producers, artists, editors, and supporters who brought Season 14 to life: thank you. The craft shows in the work because you put it there.

This marks the second James Beard Foundation Award win and third nomination in as many years in producing for PBS PBS Food . Pati Jinich Explores Panamericana was also nominated this year, with many of the same collaborators pouring endless time, talent, and care into that project as well.

We are in your debt. Congratulations to all.
Dream team!
