Drifty Eats: An Anthropological Collection of Food Preferences

Melissa Randall's Food Zine, published on Manifold. Volume 1 was published while she worked as a dual degree intern for the Digital Scholarship Services, focusing on NYU's Manifold projects. The digital zine is composed of a collection of other small, physical zines about food preferences. The issues include eight small pages (front and back), each one with a food prompt. The prompts ask for the participant's favorite grocery stores, restaurants, comfort foods, beverages, and much more. Family, friends, co-workers, and classmates submitted responses, as well as strangers invited (and compensated) via the platform Upwork.
