The UPPY Awards
On Monday, Nov. 13, Unpretentious Palate announced the 2023 People of the Year Awards, or The UPPYs, live at Charlotte’s premiere jazz club, Middle C Jazz! The annual event celebrates of the best in Charlotte’s restaurant industry, from chefs and bartenders to sommeliers and general managers.
To choose the finalists, we lean on some of the city’s most food-educated and seasoned diners, UP members, to help select our finalists via nominations. This prevents someone from being named a winner solely based on the quality of their PR team or social media following.
MEET THE 2023 UPPY AWARD WINNERS!

Tickets included the awards presentation, dinner from Dressler’s Improv Kitchen, beer, wine, cocktails from our liquor sponsors Woodford Reserve, Fords Gin and Herradura, and live music from the Troy Conn Trio.
