A place to share stories about our food, our ingredients, recipes, and the places that not only influence our culinary choices, but claim origin to our menu. However, these stories would be unfinished if we didn’t connect them to people, so not only will we tell stories from behind the counter about our food, but relate accounts about people that make our menu possible; accounts that may counter widely accepted narratives in our society.

Counterstories are narratives from the marginalized and underrepresented. The power of the counterstory to parry deficit storytelling through enlightening people to other realities, especially those in the minority, is needed in our world today. These stories are intersectional, as race, gender, and class are all factors, and can combat complacency, call readers to action, and humanize outgroups.
