#13 October

Digest #13 is bringing its usual unusualness to stir your salivary glands. In our October issue, you'll find food writing from down the block and across the globe. Digest Contributor Hilary Harty takes you down to the Oregon Coast to a restaurant that just sells corn dogs. Claire Harnenz tells us about the love affair she's having with the rice cooker in her art studio, "you make bad art when you're hungry." Damn straight.Read your fill of stories about exquisite Brazilian passion fruit, Senior Contributor Suzie Parrische's recipe for a So-Cal Lowquat cake, and learn how to bring the down-home cuisine of Carolina Barbecue to your humble Crock-Pot. It wouldn't be a Digest mag without the deliciously downhome - our young intern Lauren Baker, makes her Digest Debut, writing about the joy of going to Edison for the first time with her dad for the spiciest Indian food of her life. And our intern's intern, Dante Pilkington, follows his father as he forages in his garden.

Read it and Eat,
