Apuga Announces Nominees for Second Edition of Gastronomy Awards
Apuga, the association of gastronomic professionals in Puerto Rico, has announced the nominees for the second edition of its prestigious gastronomy awards. This is a significant milestone for the local culinary scene, highlighting the talent and innovation in Santurce and beyond.

The nominees span a wide range of categories, from best restaurant to best chef. According to Rafael, a guesthouse owner in Santurce, the awards ceremony is expected to draw a large audience and will be a great opportunity for residents and visitors alike to celebrate the local food culture.
Rafael, who deals with suppliers, staff, and paperwork every week, notes that the awards not only recognize excellence in the culinary arts but also boost the local economy. 'This event means more foot traffic for local businesses and a chance for them to showcase their best offerings,' he explains.
For expats and digital nomads living in or visiting Santurce, this is an excellent opportunity to explore new dining experiences and support local talent. Keep an eye on the dates for the awards ceremony, as it is scheduled to take place in the coming months, likely in June or July.
