Letter From The Editor Editor

Dear Readers, As our team brainstormed ideas for the Spring edition theme, we came across the concept of “Around the World.” When you think of Madison, you think of the plethora of food options coming from all over the world, as well as the ability to dip your toe into exploring the cuisine of any new culture. Madison is where I tried many new delicacies from different countries myself, and this has been a staple part of my college experience, because it has been a part of leaving home and trying new things out of my comfort zone. From Chinese, to Spanish, to Vietnamese, to Italian, to American, to Nepalese, Madison has it all. Not only that, but the melting pot that is UW Madison has people from all over the world as well. The combination of the wide range of people and the abundance of food makes this school such a culturally diverse place, and being able to share your own foods and traditions with the people around you is what makes that so special.

In this edition, we have recommendations of the best local spots for whatever your palette is craving, but we also have home made recipes that stem from a culture special to our writers. Creating this semester’s magazine was so much fun because we all got to learn more about the people around us, in terms of where they come from, their favorite foods from their cultures and more. This idea of “around the world” opened our team up to conversations about our backgrounds, bringing us all a little bit closer, which was a heartwarming experience.

Thank you for taking the time to read our Spring 2023 magazine! The creation process of this was an incredible experience, and I want to thank everyone on my team for all of their hard work and dedication.

Now go give it a read, but warning: you will close the last page hungry.

Always in good taste,

Charlie Fink
