A testimonial from Soleil Ho, critic and food writer at Coyote Media: I’m so glad to see more publications like Ravenous bring that fight into the business structure itself, working hard to prove that food media can have spaces where the people making the work also run the show. I’m so looking forward to seeing how Ravenous pushes us all forward — into newer, braver ideas about food and the many ways it touches us.
