Filipino culinary content creator and beloved “Lumpia Queen” Abi Marquez has earned her second consecutive nomination at the prestigious Webby Awards, once again making waves in the Creators – Food & Drink category. This follows her 2024 Webby People’s Voice Award win, further solidifying her as a trailblazer in digital food content and a proud ambassador of Filipino cuisine to the world.
With her irresistible recipes and vibrant storytelling, Abi has won the hearts—and tastebuds—of viewers across the globe. From crispy lumpia to modern Filipino fusions, her content brings the rich flavors of the Philippines to a wider audience, sparking appreciation and curiosity for our culinary traditions.
Her 2024 Webby win was a milestone not just for her career, but for the Philippines as a whole. It highlighted the growing recognition of Filipino cuisine on the world stage—and she’s doing it again this year.
Global Recognition in a Competitive Field
Abi is up against well-known creators in the digital food space, including:
- Joshua Weissman, famed for his viral recipes and bold personality
- Andrew Rea (Babish) of Binging with Babish, known for recreating iconic movie meals
- Olivia Tiedemann, a rising star known for her creative, cross-platform food content
Despite the tough competition, Abi’s nomination proves that Filipino creators can stand toe-to-toe with global influencers.

Being a Webby Nominee is no small feat—out of over 13,000 entries across categories, only the top 12% receive a nomination. The Webbys, often dubbed the Oscars of the Internet, honor excellence in creativity, impact, and innovation in digital content.
