Marquez took home the People's Voice award in the Social – Food & Drink category of the 28th annual Webby Awards, the results of which were announced on their website on Tuesday, April 23. This winning will be celebrated at the upcoming award show taking place in New York on May 13.
Marquez, of course, is known for her cooking shortform videos, particularly on TikTok and Instagram. She's playfully dubbed "Lumpia Queen" for her series stuffing unlikely ingredients and ingredient combos (think peach-mango, tuna pie, sisig, and more!) into lumpia wrappers, a la the Filipino spring roll.
Called the "Internet's highest honor" by no less than the New York Times, The Webby Awards is an annual award established in 1996, focusing on the wide world of the Internet. Its Food & Drink Social category covers food- and drink-focused social media accounts and content—we're talking chef and restaurant profiles, culinary history, recipes, cooking, reviews, and so on. "These include accounts on behalf of restaurants, critics, influencers, brands, and manufacturers," The Webby Awards writes on their website.
