The UPPY Awards

Save the date for the 2024 UPPY Awards! Unpretentious Palate‘s fourth annual People of the Year Awards, or The UPPYs, will be held on Monday, November 4th from 6-9 p.m. at Charlotte’s historic Visulite Theatre. The annual event celebrates the best in Charlotte’s restaurant industry, from chefs and bartenders to sommeliers and general managers. Tickets will go on sale soon!

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.

NOMINATIONS ARE NOW OPEN! SUBMIT YOURS HERE.
