From January 14 through February 5 Word for Word will present a theatrical production of “Sorry Fugu” by T.C. Boyle – a witty, wicked look at restaurants and critics, and “Enough” by Alice McDermott – a story about a woman’s passion for food and life. Reading these stories lead to many discussions about food and its place in our lives and our culture. As a result, we were inspired to create this blog.

Introducing the Food Stories Blog
We created the Food Stories Blog as a way to give the public exclusive insights into the production process of Word for Word's upcoming January show, while also creating a forum in which to share our passion for food and to explore stories from our foodie community.
