Smögen Appetizers at Vintage Wine + Eats is Blowing the Lid Off the Traditional Bagel
“It’s only been six weekends as a pop-up at Vintage Wine + Eats in Studio City and the locals are already lining up on Ventura Boulevard for the fresh and colorful Swedish-style open-faced sandwiches from Smögen Appetizers that are a fish lover’s dream. These San Fernando halves rival any of the hipster bagel joints on the West Side.”
Hollywood Reporter
Where to Eat in Beverly Hills Now
“The city’s go-to for fine cheeses, cured meats, wines and sundry fancy foods since 1967 moved last summer from Beverly Drive to a bountiful 5,000-square-foot location on South Santa Monica Boulevard near Linden Drive. New proprietor Dominick DiBartolomeo, who after 25 years of working for The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills under the previous, has filled the new space with everything loyal patrons have come to expect from this epicurean hub — including charcuterie boards, robust salads and crave-worthy sandwiches — as well as his own Domenico’s line of pastas.”
Eater LA
A New El Segundo Bagel Shop Wants to Make a Big Splash in the South Bay
“The results are artisanal and small batch but also familiar for bagel fans who might find some of the newer shops a bit too crunchy on the outside. Tom also wants to have fun with some of the flavors, like an eye-catching black-and-white bagel with black and untoasted sesame seeds, or a cheddar hot honey bagel that recalls a more typical cheddar jalapeno, but with the chile. Rosemary olive oil feels peak Cal-Italian while the everything bagel boasts poppy, fennel, and sesame seeds.”

Spirit of the Week: OMAGE XO
“After three decades running the some of the biggest names in the spirits industry, Julious Grant decided it was time to start his own project. While he could’ve gone in any direction, Grant recognized an absence in American brandy, saw the potential of elevating the category, and set out to launch Omage.”
“Of the three expressions we’d argue swooping the XO while you can. Aged for over six years, the XO takes on a nose of dried apricot with tasting notes of jasmine, honeysuckle and oak, developing a rich, all-natural dark caramel color. Very reasonably priced at $90 compared to you’d pay for a French XO.”

5 Unique Gins to Sip This Summer: AWAYUKI Strawberry Gin
“Many brands have tried — and failed — to capture the sweet and delicate taste of strawberries, but too often the taste comes off as cloying or artificial. That’s not the case with this flavored gin from strawberry-obsessed Japan, a country where it’s common to see boxes of prized pink and white varieties of the berries sold for astronomical prices.”
“Infused with Awayuki, white pearl, and Kotoka berries grown in Japan’s Nara Prefecture, the pure flavors of the aromatic fruit marry beautifully with the juniper and other botanicals.”

10 Best Japanese Whisky Bottles to Drink Right Now: TEITESSA
“Teitessa is relatively new on the scene, and is made at the Fuji Takasago Distillery, also a sake brewery. A Sato still is used for distillation, which according to the brand is a column still shaped like a beehive on the inside that allows for better selection of the head and heart of the spirit. There are various expressions to choose from with an age range that rivals some of the best known scotch brands out there… True, these don’t taste like Japanese single malts, but that’s because they are not–they are, however, interesting and refined sipping whiskies that shouldn’t be dismissed by single malt purists.”
“Public Haus has an acute understanding of the media landscape. I’ve spent years crafting unique taste profiles that I knew were missing in the marketplace, and through their efforts, setting up private tastings with key members of the media and securing ongoing coverage with top-tier outlets, Public Haus has dramatically expanded the awareness of our world-class spirits portfolio, which has positively impacted our efforts with distributors, retailers and on-premise. I highly recommend their PR and influencer services to any brand looking to scale awareness and credibility with consumers and trade audiences alike.”

Food & Beverage PR and Marketing FAQ
From our blog
Food and Beverage PR in 2026: The Rise of Affiliate-Driven Media (And What it Means for Brands)
Food and beverage has become one of the most competitive categories in consumer marketing, driven by the continued growth of DTC brands, better-for-you products and increased consumer interest in ingredients, wellness and convenience.
From functional beverages and supplements to pantry staples and emerging snack brands, companies are entering a crowded space where standing out requires more than just a strong product.
In 2026, the brands gaining traction aren’t just building great products – they’re aligning their PR and marketing strategies with how modern consumers discover, evaluate and purchase food and beverage products.
Affiliate and Commerce Media are Becoming More Influential
Food and beverage media has evolved significantly, with many publications now investing in commerce-driven content including product roundups, gift guides and “best of” lists.
For brands, this means PR is no longer just about exposure – it’s about being included in content that aligns with how consumers actively search and shop. Articles like “best healthy snacks,” “top protein powders” or “must-have pantry staples” play a growing role in influencing purchase decisions.
While this type of PR is more established in other categories, it is becoming an increasingly important component within food and beverage, particularly for brands with strong e-commerce capabilities.
Creators Are Driving Discovery and Consideration
Food is one of the most visual and behavior-driven categories, and creators play a central role in how products are discovered.
Platforms like TikTok, Instagram and YouTube have become primary channels for food discovery, with content ranging from recipes and daily routines to product integrations and reviews.
For brands, creator partnerships offer a way to demonstrate real-world use, build familiarity and drive consideration in a way that traditional media alone often cannot.
PR strategies that integrate creators alongside media outreach tend to create more consistent visibility across the consumer journey.
Retail and E-Commerce Readiness Matter More Than Ever
As commerce-driven media continues to grow, distribution has become a critical factor in PR success.
Publications and creators are more likely to feature products that are easy to purchase, whether through Amazon, direct-to-consumer platforms or national retail availability.
Brands that are not optimized for online purchasing often miss out on opportunities, even when there is strong interest from media or creators.
PR is increasingly connected to where and how a product can be purchased, not just how it is positioned.
Functional Benefits and Ingredient Transparency Continue to Lead
Consumers are paying closer attention to what they are putting into their bodies, which is shaping both product development and media coverage.
Products that clearly communicate functional benefits – such as protein content, energy support, gut health or clean ingredients – are more likely to resonate with both editors and consumers.
At the same time, transparency around sourcing, formulation and brand values continues to play a major role in building trust.
For food and beverage brands, strong messaging around product benefits is essential to securing meaningful coverage.
Consistency Is Driving Long-Term Brand Growth
Brands that rely on one-off launches or short-term campaigns often struggle to maintain visibility in a fast-moving category.
The brands gaining traction in 2026 are those that show up consistently across media, creator platforms and commerce-driven content. Ongoing PR efforts, regular placements and continuous storytelling help build recognition and credibility over time.
Consistency, rather than isolated moments, is what drives sustained growth.
What Should You Look for in a Food & Beverage PR Agency
In today’s environment, food and beverage brands should look for a partner that understands how to connect media placements, creator partnerships and commerce-driven opportunities into a cohesive strategy.
Execution should be focused, consistent and aligned with how consumers actually discover and purchase products.
The most effective PR strategies don’t operate in isolation. They support brand positioning, drive engagement and increasingly contribute to measurable business outcomes.
