Selanne Steak Tavern Captures its Fourth Golden Foodie Award at 2016 Golden Foodie Awards Ceremony

At the fifth annual Golden Foodie Awards ceremony and gala held on Sunday, September 25 at the Fairmont Newport Beach, Selanne Steak Tavern again received Best Steak Award for the restaurant’s outstanding menu execution, service and overall program. This is the fourth Golden Foodie Award bestowed on the Laguna Beach steakhouse and tavern. Previous awards from this organization include Best New Restaurant and Best Steak in 2014, and Best Wine in 2015.

The Golden Foodies – the People’s Choice Food Awards – honors excellence in the world of restaurants, chefs, bartenders, food and drinks. Results are culled from online nominating and voting by industry professionals, avid restaurant devotees and others. The 2016 red carpet affair was attended by many of the “who’s who” in the culinary arena, including master of ceremonies Simon Majumdar from Food Network, who presented Selanne’s Best Steak Award to General Manager Joshua Buckner.

“This year has been another great year for us as our guests and the food industry continue to recognize our hard work and passion in all we do. Receiving this fourth Golden Foodie Award, in addition to recently being given a prestigious Award of Excellence for our outstanding wine program from Wine Spectator magazine, is a great testament to Chef Joshua Severson and our professional team both in front- and back-of-the-house at Selanne Steak Tavern,” said owners Teemu Selanne and Kevin Pratt.
