#6: No Chefs, No Masters (Ft. Dinner Bell Mag)

This week we are joined by Emeran Irby (@emeranirby), Emma Honcharski (@emma.honch), and Howard Parsons (@bruce_pancake) of Dinner Bell Mag to talk about food, their editing process, and the intersection of art/writing. "Dinner Bell is a food magazine and multi-media project. It serves as a creative space for anyone to experiment with how they write about food. We use the theme of food loosely, as we acknowledge that stories about food are perhaps not about food at all. We publish stories about food that exist outside of the traditional food writing framework. Submitting to Dinner Bell is free and open to all.*- via the Dinner Bell website (https://www.dinnerbellmag.com/) Dinner Bell Vol. 3 is coming soon! In the meantime, join their newsletter and lookout for their upcoming Substack. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
