At The Food Section, we serve eaters across the American South by providing them with the information and analysis they need to better understand and appreciate their food-and-drink experiences in our region. Or to put it another way: We break the news and tell the stories that make readers’ meals more meaningful.

Those readers are a whip-smart bunch. The Food Section twice each week lands in the inboxes of thousands of high-profile food chroniclers and connoisseurs who crave new ideas and perspectives. They’re equally interested in the joys of dining and justice for those who make such pleasure possible.
