FAMOUS FOR MY DINNER PARTIES ISSUE 002 — RAGES! CRAZES! THE FOOD FAD ISSUE

Famous for my dinner parties issue 002 is small and cute, but it’s bigger than issue 001 in all the important ways: Coming in at 100 pages, it has more collaborators, more articles, more photos and illustrations. This time around, the issue centres around a single theme: the food fad. Because, whether we like it or not, food fads tell us a lot about who we are as people, about our cultures and societies, how we see others and what it is we want for ourselves. Famous for my dinner parties’ approach to cultural analysis with a fun and lighthearted touch is the perfect way to tackle food fads — because they are often as ridiculous as they are serious.
