The National Magazine Awards has named Eater as a finalist in the category of General Excellence, Service and Lifestyle.
The finalists for the 2026 National Magazine Awards, an annual recognition from the American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME), were announced on Thursday.
Eater was nominated for General Excellence, Service and Lifestyle, alongside Allure, T: The New York Times Style Magazine, Vogue, and Wirecutter. This is Eater’s fourth year in a row being nominated in the category, and Eater is the only repeat nominee from the past two years.
Eater has been nominated in several other ASME categories in years past, including Lifestyle Journalism and Best Service and Lifestyle Design in 2025 for Welcome to the Chainification of America, and Best Digital Design in 2024 for Mall Food Madness, a celebratory exploration of mall dining culture.
Eater won National Magazine Awards in 2016 for the Eater Guide to Surviving Disney World, in 2017 for the Eater Guide to Paris, and in 2022 for Filling Up, an exploration of food and dining culture across America’s gas stations.
The winners of the 2026 awards will be presented in May 19.
