The Craft of Food Journalism

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

Learn why professional food writers believe “there’s a food story in everything.” In this hands-on seminar, students will develop and write restaurant reviews, consumer investigations, profiles and food features, with multiple classes held in restaurants and other off-campus venues, and with the participation of guest experts in the media and hospitality world. Taught by Tom Sietsema, the former veteran food critic for The Washington Post and a James Beard Award winner, this course goes beyond the classroom to show how the industry really works. You might leave with a better palate, too.
