Our Awesome Planet's Ultimate Taste Test 2022 was nothing short of a blast. Held at Gallery MiraNila, a heritage compound located along Mariposa Street in Quezon City, this year's UTT brought together 116 judges in a by-invitation-only event to 'taste test' the specialties of 22 budding culinary ventures. The judges ranged from chefs and entrepreneurs, food influencers, to media and other professionals from the food and travel industry. Over the years, UTT has remained one of the best platforms for new food ventures to get introduced to a much wider market.

The venue itself served as the perfect location: intimate with outdoor spaces draped in lush greenery and an indoor space decked with air-conditioning for hotter days.
This holiday season, do consider any of these new amazing local food brands to grace your and your loved ones' tables.
