FAMOUS FOR MY DINNER PARTIES ISSUE 003
famous for my dinner parties is back for issue 003! After the ‘best-of’ character of issue 001 and the mono-themed ‘food fad issue’ 002, number three is again somewhat more loosely conceived — less of a theme issue than a concept zine that aims to tap into certain elements of the zeitgeist. It consists of ten brand-new pieces in the form of essays, compilations of shorts, a still life series and even fiction — all circling around the anxieties of being alive in the world today and the way they reflect in what and how we eat. With pieces on chef culture, food diplomacy, paranoia about food safety, microwaves, internet urban legends and food crimes, the magazine’s graphic design takes cues from tabloid newspapers to fit the salaciousness and scandal-ridden character of its topics. Issue 003 is famous for my dinner parties’ signature blend of cultural criticism and bold, vibrant imagery at its best.

In 2008, Burger King set out to beat its competitors with a controversial ad campaign: What do the “Whopper Virgins” say about today’s viral foodscape?
Dialling into the internet back in 1997, no one had any clue how the world wide web would not only change the way we live, but also the way we eat.
Writer Alex Heeyeon Kil tries to understand her mother and finds it impossible to do so — except during those quiet moments when everybody is eating.
Not all food fights are wasteful. Sometimes, history can take a turn — by way of an egg, a pie, a milkshake.
