Food writing can make you question your culinary assumptions, can provoke you into eating outside your comfort zone to discover something new, and can even shift your politics. In this workshop, you’ll acquire the skills you need to write reviews, personal essays, interviews, and articles. You’ll eat at a restaurant with your instructor and make art out of the experience. And you’ll learn how food writing has changed over time, what exactly makes for good food writing, what goes into a responsible bad review, and why everyone should eat like a food writer.
