Writing

New York Times
In March 2009 Edge began a monthly column, "United Tastes," for the New York Times Dining Section.  The column explores American cuisine and its ongoing evolution. Here's the first in the series, "He Made Missouri a Chinese Province."

Oxford America
Edge has been the food columnist for the Oxford American since 1999. He has written of pig lips and slug burgers and other exotica. But he also writes often of race, using food as his point of entry.

Don't miss the summer 2005 Oxford American Food Issue, guest-edited by John T. Edge. Back issues available here.

Gourmet
Since 2000, Edge has written regularly for Gourmet. In 2005 he became a contributing editor. Among his favorite stories is a short history of charcoal, reported from the deserts of northern Mexico and a profile of two New Orleans oyster shuckers.
