About

Best Food Blog is an independent, writer-run food publication founded by journalists Ali Francis, Anikah Shaokat, Anna Hezel, and Antara Sinha. 

We serve up sharp commentary on how food culture is changing, critiques on consumer trends, reporting on the intersection of identity and eating, hot takes on restaurant fads, interviews with people who are doing groundbreaking work in the culinary space, and so much more. Right now, you can expect: 

Deeper cuts: 2 x monthly essays, interviews, or original reports that are meaty enough to be worth your time but succinct enough to actually read. 

Culture Roundups: 2 x monthly rundowns of what we’re reading, watching, listening to, and thinking about — fairly chaotic, unfit for mainstream media, and snack-sized to soothe a media-addled brain.

Cooking Roundups: 4 x monthly dispatches detailing our favorite bites of the week, meals we can’t stop thinking about, and cooking wins and fails. Only the most delicious eats and drinks for our beloved subscribers.

BFB is the food media we’ve been craving. It's driven by our writers’ passion, curiosity, and sense of humor — instead of by the advertisers and sponsors, SEO goals, and algorithms that direct traditional media. Here, there are no paid ads and no investors waiting for performance reports. Your subscription supports this mission and keeps the party going by ensuring we can pay our writers, designers, and illustrators to keep delivering stories that matter.

If you love food and independent journalism, please consider subscribing. For media inquiries, editorial pitches, or flowery compliments, reach out at hello@bestfoodblog.net.
