The awards have been presented in the Windy City since 2015 and are set to remain there through 2027.Co-hosts of the show were Eric Adjepong, Esther Choi, Andrew Zimmern and Gail Simmons, who apologized at the top of the show for being part of a combative and off-putting tone set by reality TV cooking shows that created “a generation of total monsters” who then went to restaurants with proclamations such as “that ramp butter needs more acid” and used the term “flavor profile.”But “tonight is not about the negative.
