ABOUT
The Runcible Spoon is an independent food zine based in Washington, D.C. Our goal is to capture the pleasure of eating food and present it to you in a half-collage, half-illustrated, all-magic little magazine. Our community of offbeat writers and bloggers cover everything from restaurant reviews to family recipes with the hope of one thing: to get you daydreaming about food, glorious food!
The zine was founded by Malaka Gharib, a longtime zinester, in 2010. Aside from editing and curating stories, she illustrates many of the drawings that you see in the zine. She runs the publication with Claire O'neill, who helps in the brainstorming, writing and collaging processes of the zine. Other team members include Alison Baitz, Emily Wagner and Robyn Mitchell.
Past contributors have included Jon Chonko of Scanwiches; Washington energy reporter Andrew Restuccia; Molly Wizenberg, co-owner of Delancey restaurant in Seattle and founder of the blog Orangette; freelance writer and New York Times travel and food writer Hugh Ryan; National Gallery of Art archivist Lauren Algee; NPR jazz blogger Patrick Jarenwattananon; and Orr Shtuhl, beer expert and author of "An Illustrated Guide to Cocktails."
The zine has been covered in the New York Times and Brightest Young Things, and has been given shoutouts by Saveur, the Washington Post and Design*Sponge.
