Food for Thinkers: Your Complete 16-Course Tasting Menu
Your handy bookmark-able guide to the all-you-can-read extravaganza of ideas, stories, opinions, and proposals that was GOOD's Food for Thinkers week.
02.04.11
Last week, as I hope some of you may have noticed, we hosted a six-day Food for Thinkers blogfest. With the launch of GOOD's new food hub, I wanted to stake out an expanded territory for food writing, and at the same time, start building a community of influences and inspiration.
<p> <a href="http://www.good.is/post/food-for-thinkers-an-online-festival-of-food-and-writing/">I emailed</a> a bunch of my favorite bloggers, designers, and critics, and asked them if they would mind writing something that shared their perspective on what makes food so interesting. Forty-three of them said yes, and the result was an incredible week-long, full-spectrum rollercoaster ride of stories, ideas, opinions, proposals—and a lot of really, really good writing. </p><p> To make it easier for you to go back and check out posts you missed, or revisit favorites, as well as to serve to a guide to the range of perspectives and themes we covered during the week, I've put together a 16-course tasting menu with links to each of the 54 posts. There is enough nutritious reading material in here to keep you sated for weeks, so bookmark this page, and enjoy!</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">
