Filipino culinary content creator and beloved “Lumpia Queen” Abi Marquez continues to make waves on the global digital stage, earning her second consecutive nomination at the prestigious Webby Awards in the Creators – Food & Drink category. Following her triumphant win of the Webby People’s Voice Award in 2024, this latest recognition solidifies Abi’s status as a trailblazer in the online food space and a passionate ambassador of Filipino cuisine.
Known for her vibrant storytelling, accessible recipes, and unwavering love for Filipino flavors, Abi has transformed social media into a flavorful journey—one lumpia at a time. Her TikTok collaborations, including a viral feature with none other than Gordon Ramsay, have captivated global audiences and sparked a deeper curiosity about the rich heritage behind every Filipino dish.

Last year’s Webby win was more than just a personal milestone—it was a celebration for the Filipino community. Through her content, Abi elevates not just recipes but the culture and history they represent. Whether it’s a modern twist on a childhood favorite or a deep dive into traditional cooking, her work invites the world to take a seat at the Filipino table.
As the only Filipino nominee in her category this year, Abi stands proudly among big-name creators like Joshua Weissman, Babish (Andrew Rea) of Binging with Babish, and rising talent Olivia Tiedemann. But what sets Abi apart is her deep-rooted connection to culture, her audience, and her authentic voice that resonates with millions of fans who see themselves in her dishes.
The Power of a Webby Nod
To be nominated for a Webby is no small feat. Out of more than 13,000 entries worldwide, only the top 12% are shortlisted—a testament to Abi’s creative excellence, influence, and innovation in the digital culinary space.
The Webby Awards, often dubbed the “Oscars of the Internet,” hand out two major accolades:
- The Webby Award, judged by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS)
- The Webby People’s Voice Award, determined by public voting
Abi’s 2024 win in the People’s Voice category highlighted the strength of her community and the resonance of her message. A second win this year would not only honor her incredible work but continue to bring Filipino food to the forefront of global conversations.
