on creation, destruction and intersectionality in the restaurant industry... with recipes
I'm a cook and a baker fascinated by food and restaurant culture and invested in tearing down all systemic forms of oppression.
Recipes that are abundant in flavor and joy yet streamlined in process and shopping (because theyโre all made of the same 40 ingredients).
Hi! Iโm Meg Conley. I write about the intersection of capitalism, culture and care work at Pocket Observatory. Select essays are republished to Substack. If you'd like to receive my official (FREE) newsletter, subscribe here + I'll take care of the rest!
Essays, criticism, and interviews on food, culture, and media sent out on Monday morning. Paid subscribers receive additional posts on Fridays and have access to commenting, the recipe archive, and more.
Written from a journalist in a red state, this newsletter is personal, political, sometimes funny and always raises hell.
