Welcome to the Food Issue (#7) of Vice-Versa: feast!
Drawing on the recent socialization of foodie behavior—everything from growing your own felt-basket garden to learning the true elegance of dried cherries in a salad—we have decided to indulge the new parameters of eating well, consciously, and with more rigor than our respective preservative-clad childhoods. In this issue you will find artists and writers who understand that food nourishes the mind as beautifully as it does the body. Whether you’re a culinary addict or a more circumspect connoisseur, you’ll find that each offering on our menu contains kernels of fancy and flights of truth.
So, grab your spork and whet your desiring soul for the perfectly seasoned art and literature herein. We have a completely delicious dine-in situation just for you.
