What People Are Saying *
“Edible Chicago is a masterclass in thoughtful storytelling. It goes beyond the plate, highlighting the farmers, artisans, and food systems changemakers who make our local food economy thrive. With equal care and curiosity, it uplifts both the well-known and the overlooked, creating a truly inclusive narrative that deepens our connection to the people and places behind our food.”
— Mandy M.
“I recently came across your magazine at the Dill Pickle Co-op here in Chicago. I wanted to take a moment to express how much I admire the focus of your publication — not only highlighting the city's incredible culinary scene but also shedding light on the people behind the scenes and the impact they’re making within the community. As someone who is deeply passionate about food and the power of sharing meals, I found the way your magazine showcases both creativity in the kitchen and the ways food connects people to be incredibly inspiring.”
