Alicia Kennedy’s newsletter is the thing I look forward to most every week.
In a year when newspapers and online publications have been shutting down left and right, Alicia took to Substack to publish her own thoughts and musings about the food and beverage world.
She combines her vast knowledge of, well, nearly everything, and weaves together arguments that go beyond food.
She regularly pushes back on established norms—Why do we care about the James Beard Awards? Who is worthy of prestige and recognition in food? So many of the things we care about in food are distorted and marked by invisible systems of oppression, white supremacy, and toxic masculinity.
Alicia’s newsletter starkly demystifies the silent forces that keep the food and beverage world on its toes.
