KITCHEN TABLE #6: THE PIZZA ISSUE

PIZZA IS ONE THING WE CAN ALL AGREE ON, RIGHT?

One of the most lovable forms of food, pizza is the staple of late-night work and kid-friendly sports practice celebrations, fuel for drunken nights and stoned days, a salve for hungover mornings, a bribe for the friends who helped you move. It’s convenience food after a long day, or a divine meal worthy of many pilgrimages; a blank canvas for cultural masterpieces.

BETWEEN THE COVERS

  • Feature Interviews with Jhy Coulter from Devoured Pizza in Kansas City, MO, and Kayla Abe from Shuggie's Trash Pie in San Francisco—both have critically acclaimed pies and 5-star design chops.

  • A Coast-to-Coast Pizza Survey with two dozen Pizza-makers. If you aren't curious what pop-culture pizza moments inspire the nation's creative slice-slingers, what are you curious about?

  • Totino’s Frozen Pizza-flavored Ice Cream (yes, you read that correctly) and the story of Rose Totino, a groundbreaking and overlooked pizza hero. 

  • A pizza-inspired cocktail for after you burn the roof of your mouth on said Totino's pizza because you couldn't wait five minutes for it to cool down. Not that WE have ever done that.

  • Simpson’s Writer/Show-runner Bill Oakley Rates Frozen Pizzas. Simpsons. Frozen pizza. What more does a '90s kid dream of? Clearly Canadian and a box of Gushers?

  • A Junk Food Fetish for Fake Pizza-Flavored Anything. A brave soul journeys through the world of faux 'za to see which conglomerate can best Willy Wonka the taste of a pepperoni pizza into an extruded corn/potato product.

So much more, and not entirely pizza-related: Recipes, lots of Recipes; Gardening Tips; a Food Fight; a Brief History of Teriyaki in the Pacific Northwest; the Best Whiskey You'll Never Taste. And for dessert? This Issue's Word from the Kitchen—Cannoli.

KITCHEN TABLE MAGAZINE #6 is a physical manifestation of inclusive food culture, sustainability, our relationship with place, and our ability to be present in a world of distraction, digital or otherwise. Through a lens of art and storytelling, we explore what we eat (including pizza), and how we eat, and why. Of what it means to be human. KITCHEN TABLE believes that we evolved in community and celebrates the things that bring us together, which of course means food. In a challenging world that often seems upside down, sometimes all we need to get through the day are friends and a slice to remind us that we're all in this together.
