Biannual

Editor-in-chief: Kenzie Yoshimura

Creative director: Ric Bell

Art direction and design: POST

This Glasgow-born biannual visits a different city every issue, exploring the local culture through food, history, and community, and looking further than the cliché tourist routes. The team work with local writers each time.

This time it’s the turn of Philadelphia, sixth-most populous city in the US, and home city of magazine founder Ben Mervis, who notes in his introduction, ‘This was the heart of the American Revolution: the place where the Founding Fathers convened to draft and sign the Declaration of Independence.’ 

The issue showcases a city beyond that history: we meet sport-crazy fans at a stadium tailgate party; visit a Lenape chief for an oral history of Philadelphia's Indigenous foods; and discover a Cambodian noodle house.

On the Journal:
Editor Ben Mervis and creative director Ric Bell spoke about the Budapest issue of their magazine at our ‘magCulture Meets Fare’ evening at the Shop, in August 2023.
