Tell Your Food Story

I’m collecting food stories from people all over the United States!

To participate, you can:

Whether you’re printing out the file or playing in Canva or another design tool, when you’re done, you’ll email it to mw5496 (at) nyu (dot) edu. For printed files, please scan or take a high-resolution photo to email it to me. If you know me personally, you can also mail it or give it to me in person.

Please do not fold!

To give you an idea how simple this can be, here’s an example of one I filled out (front and back).

The prompts are typed minimally on each block (in the form of a question), but includes:

First Page: First Name, Age, Occupation, City

  1. Favorite coffee shop
  2. Favorite grocery store
  3. Favorite pizza
  4. Favorite beverage 
  5. Favorite fries
  6. Favorite takeout
  7. Favorite “local” specialty 
  8. Favorite bakery
  9. Favorite place for produce (fruit/veggies)
  10. Favorite deli/bodega/convience store order 
  11. Favorite summertime treat
  12. Favorite “healthy” snack
  13. Favorite comfort food
  14. Favorite restaurant

The back page is a QR code – please do not fill it in or edit!

Here’s a TikTok I made explaining the concept.
