EDIBLE SF HAS RETURNED.
Over eighteen years ago, Bruce Cole started Edible San Francisco and EAT.DRINK.THINK. to document San Francisco’s food scene with uncompromising honesty. After a brief hiatus, Edible San Francisco is back under new ownership and a bold vision to show what’s really happening on both sides of the kitchen door.
My name is Melody Saradpon, and I’m the new Editor-in-Chief and publisher of Edible SF.
With Bruce’s blessing and continued guidance, Edible SF will continue featuring the diverse stories behind food—and reveal the underbelly of the intense culinary industry. This city’s food story is more complex than most publications are willing to admit, and I’m here to change that.
This rebirth of EAT.DRINK.THINK. remains FREE and accessible to all. Unlike most food media that’s comfortable with pretty pictures and polished press releases, I’m committed to telling the complete story of food in this city—from migrant farm workers to MICHELIN stars, from back-alley vendors to underground food labs.
Most importantly, I want to show you all a hidden world that thrives after dark. Where the culinary industry goes after hours, and why it’s remained controversially confidential.
Each newsletter will open with a fragment of truth—sometimes beautiful and sometimes brutal—because I believe food media should be as raw, real, and diverse as the industry itself.
WHERE WE’RE GOING
Summer 2025 is our first issue release. Each quarterly magazine will dive deeper into themes that define San Francisco’s complex food system, and examine what we pay, who profits, and what’s lost in the exchange.
SHARE THE NEWS
As we ramp up for our revival, forward this to anyone who’s keen to follow our news:
The industry has changed. The city has changed. And as a publication, Edible San Francisco has too.
But our commitment to food truth remains, and I’d love to hear from you.
Honored to be here.
