Welcome to The Bite, Salon Food's very first newsletter. [The Bite] During the depths of the pandemic, I found myself craving hyper-specific [communal food experiences](~/AASU4wA~/RgRjJe8gP0R3aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2Fsb24uY29tLzIwMjEvMDYvMTYvY2FuLWZvb2QtaGFsbHMtaGVscC1kaXZlcnNpZnktdGhlLXBvc3QtcGFuZGVtaWMtcmVzdGF1cmFudC1pbmR1c3RyeS15ZXMtaWYtZG9uZS1yaWdodC9XA3NwY0IKYUIiakNhWagcmFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). I recalled a reporting trip I’d taken to Asheville, N.C., only a few months before the novel coronavirus was daily news. There, my partner and I connected with some other food professionals. Together, over the course of a few days, we bonded over biscuits, a trip to Foothills Meats — a tidy butcher shop where we had a breakfast of hot coffee and cold cuts while the owner showed us how to break down a pig — and an afternoon spent at local farm. Between interviews, we played with a pair of farm dachshunds that were dressed in slim polar fleece jackets to protect their low bellies from the frost. On our final night in town, we all met up at [Vivian](~/AASU4wA~/RgRjJe8gP0QWaHR0cHM6Ly92aXZpYW5hdmwuY29tL1cDc3BjQgphQiJqQ2FZqByYUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), a cozy, warmly-lit restaurant in the arts district that serves European-influenced [dishes built with Southern ingredients](~/AASU4wA~/RgRjJe8gP0SEaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2Fsb24uY29tLzIwMjAvMDMvMjgvdGhlc2UtcXVpY2stY29va2VkLWNvbGxhcmQtZ3JlZW5zLW9mZmVyLWEtZmxhdm9yZnVsLW5ldy13YXktdG8tZW5qb3ktYS1jbGFzc2ljLW9mLXNvdXRoZXJuLWN1aXNpbmUvVwNzcGNCCmFCImpDYVmoHJhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). I remember some of what we ate (like the “Nordic deviled eggs” stuffed with smoked fish, potato and cornichon), but mostly I remember how we ate: shoulder-to-shoulder around a long, wooden table, sharing food and pushing slices and pieces onto other people’s plates. As the pandemic wears on, the list of experiences I miss continues to grow. There’s “Hey, thanks for helping me move” pizza, where you and your friends collapse into a sweaty heap onto someone’s new kitchen floor and suddenly everything is funny and you realize that [pepperoni pizza has never tasted better](~/AASU4wA~/RgRjJe8gP0ROaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2Fsb24uY29tLzIwMTkvMDgvMTcvdGhlLWJlc3QtZGVlcC1kaXNoLXBpenphLWlzLW5vdC1mcm9tLWNoaWNhZ28vVwNzcGNCCmFCImpDYVmoHJhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). There’s [traveling to a new city](~/AASU4wA~/RgRjJe8gP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2Fsb24uY29tLzIwMjEvMDUvMTYvdG9ydGlsbGEtZXNwYW9sYS1taS1jYXJpby1hbi1vZGUtdG90aGUtc2ltcGxlLXBlcmZlY3Qtc3BhbmlzaC1vbWVsZXQvVwNzcGNCCmFCImpDYVmoHJhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) — perhaps with someone who is still a little new to you — and inevitably ending up at a diner that's not great but very good. Together, [you drink just fine coffee](~/AASU4wA~/RgRjJe8gP0RLaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2Fsb24uY29tLzIwMjEvMDcvMjQvb2JzZXJ2YXRpb25zLWZyb20tYS1jaGljYWdvLWR1bmtpbi1kb251dHMvVwNzcGNCCmFCImpDYVmoHJhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) and ice cold water from those plastic pebbled tumblers and start to wonder if [you’re falling in love just as the pancakes arrive](~/AASU4wA~/RgRjJe8gP0RfaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2Fsb24uY29tLzIwMjEvMDUvMDgvdGhlLXNpbXBsZXN0LWV2ZXItdHJpY2stdG8tbWFrZS1mbHVmZnktcHVmZnktcGFuY2FrZXNfcGFydG5lci9XA3NwY0IKYUIiakNhWagcmFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). Then there’s the standard: cooking something, anything really, for someone to show you care. The pandemic has taught us many things — about our society, our communities, and ultimately, about ourselves. One of the most basic, yet simultaneously most poignant, of these lessons is that we humans tend to do better overall when connected to one another. And [Zoom cocktail hours](~/AASU4wA~/RgRjJe8gP0R5aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2Fsb24uY29tLzIwMjAvMDQvMDMvbXktdmlydHVhbC1zb2NpYWwtbGlmZS1pcy1leGhhdXN0aW5nLXR1cm5zLW91dC16b29tLWNvY2t0YWlsLWhvdXJzLWNhbi1idXJuLXlvdS1vdXQtdG9vL1cDc3BjQgphQiJqQ2FZqByYUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) just don’t cut it after a while. That’s why our debut edition of The Bite, [Salon Food's](~/AASU4wA~/RgRjJe8gP0QjaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2Fsb24uY29tL2NhdGVnb3J5L2Zvb2RXA3NwY0IKYUIiakNhWagcmFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) very first newsletter, focuses on how food and community are often one big overlapping circle in the weird, cosmic Venn diagram that is life.

It was recently adapted for TV for Amazon Prime's [“Modern Love”](~/AASU4wA~/RgRjJe8gP0RvaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2Fsb24uY29tLzIwMTkvMTAvMTkvdGhlLXJlYWwtbGlmZS1tb2Rlcm4tbG92ZS1hdXRob3Itd2hvc2UtbG92ZS1saWZlLWFtYXpvbi1kcmFtYXRpemVkLXNwZWFrcy1vdXQvVwNzcGNCCmFCImpDYVmoHJhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) anthology series, which you can stream after reading. In a recent food desk meeting, Mary Elizabeth mentioned there was a lot of [cooking in the show version of her life](~/AASU4wA~/RgRjJe8gP0RNaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2Fsb24uY29tLzIwMjEvMDgvMTkvYS1zYWxtb24tYW5kLXBlc3RvLXBhc3RhLXRvLWZhbGwtaW4tbG92ZS10by9XA3NwY0IKYUIiakNhWagcmFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), which prompted this mini-interview via Slack: AS: In your real relationship, is food something you connect over with your family? (If so, how?) MEW: My immediate family is made up of four individuals with incredibly different tastes, allergies and health issues. And yet, there is a very special and specific connection I feel when we're feeding each other — [baking cookies with my daughters in the kitchen](~/AASU4wA~/RgRjJe8gP0RJaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2Fsb24uY29tLzIwMjAvMTIvMjYvbXkteWVhci1vZi1vYnNlc3NpdmUtaW5kaWZmZXJlbnQtYmFraW5nL1cDc3BjQgphQiJqQ2FZqByYUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW44NUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), even just the gesture of making somebody a cup of tea. Nothing says, 'I love you. Let me take care of you,' in the way that food does.

Everyone loves to connect around food — even Paris Hilton, though she’s not particularly talented at navigating a kitchen.
