UW–MADISON'S STUDENT-RUN FOOD MAGAZINE

01 / ABOUT THE DISH

For the love of food, and everything around it

The Dish is UW–Madison's student-run food magazine, exploring the people, places, cultures, and ideas that shape the way we eat. From local restaurants and family traditions to culinary innovations and global food trends, we celebrate food as a way to discover new perspectives and build community.

As part of the Wisconsin Union Directorate Literary Arts Committee, The Dish is created by students, for students. Through our annual spring print issue and year-round digital articles and recipes, we aim to connect the UW–Madison community through a shared love of food.

Whether you're a writer, photographer, designer, curious eater, or simply someone with a story to tell, we invite you to be part of The Dish.
