Inc. magazine won a James Beard Award for feature reporting.

The award recognized “Caught! A historic, family-run restaurant in Biloxi, Mississippi, made its name selling freshly caught seafood. Then the feds showed up with an extraordinary accusation: The fish were a fraud” by Boyce Upholt.

The award recognizes excellence for engaging writing and in-depth reporting in food and/or drink features.

On LinkedIn, editor in chief Mike Hofman wrote, “Boyce’s thoughtful reporting looks at questions of authenticity, the demands of tourism on a local business community, the ever-present threat of cheaper imports even for an industry like local seafood, and how one family business got caught up in all of these very timely trends. It’s a great read, and for Boyce and team, a very well-deserved honor.”
