Are you familiar with the black and gold stickers? If you shop in the UK, you probably are.
I sit down with Guild of Fine Food Director Christabel Cairns to discuss how the awards are judged, how they've changed and who they're important to.
Visit thenextdeliciousthing.com for all the links, including to a list of the most recent winners.
THEN (from 26 minutes and 30 seconds):
Top Foods to look out for in London now:
* The condiment you need in your pantry because - unless you hate chilli! - you'll use it on everything
* A new vegan chicken arrives in London and sweeps into Sketch and other chefs' hands.
* Where to go if you're vegan and missing Ikea's meatballs
* Creme brûlée crepes in a cone in Covent Garden
* The best value and best chocolate tart in London right now. Hurry, it might not be around long.
