The Heavy Table is a team of writers, photographers, and illustrators telling the stories of food and drink in the Upper Midwest. We publish weekly.
Our sister publication, edited by COOKBOOK TEST author James Norton, and constantly updated with news, reviews, and profiles focused on food and drink in the Upper Midwest.
For adventurous, curious food-lovers seeking a more delicious life.
