<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Why? Because <a href="https://bit.ly/42Zvbjh">Kae Lani Palmisano</a> is approaching food journalism in the same way <em>BSR</em> approaches arts journalism: food and the arts (and media about them) are gateways for new voices and conversations, not an elitist checkpoint. Sometimes people push back on this work: see Palmisano’s recent <em>Bon Appétit</em> piece about the <a href="https://bit.ly/42ZiJzv">eight best cheesesteaks in Philly</a>—she got “so much flack” for highlighting local Lebanese, Mexican, Korean, and Ethiopian chefs’ offerings alongside the better-known favorites. But this is the kind of inclusive, curious, and future-facing coverage we love at <em>BSR</em>.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Our own Kyle V. Hiller moderated this conversation with Palmisano, journalist and digital producer <a href="https://bit.ly/43fcYhn">Alisha Miranda</a> (<em>The Inquirer</em>, <em>Eater</em>, <em>Billy Penn</em>, <em>Philly Mag</em>, <em>Edible Philly</em>, and more) and <em>Inquirer</em> deputy food editor <a href="https://bit.ly/3WqtdG7">Margaret Eby</a>.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">We’re excited to welcome Palmisano as she launches <a href="https://bit.ly/3OgEnv9"><em>Power Dining</em></a>, a podcast and newsletter exploring the power structures, power moves, and power DINE-amics of the world of food.</p><p class="" data-rte-preserve-empty="true" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Links:</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">https://www.kaelanisays.com/</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">https://www.bonappetit.com/story/best-cheesesteaks-philadelphia</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">https://www.alishainthe.biz/</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">https://twitter.com/margareteby</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">https://powerdining.substack.com/</p>
