Feast Magazine

Next month I won’t even bother to pick up a Feast Magazine. Since Feast has added Kansas City and other Missouri towns, it isn’t worth reading. Most of the time at least, they put a heading for the city’s restaurant written about. It’s just confusing. With any luck, Catherine Neville will move to Kansas City and take Feast with her.

I can’t believe Feast doesn’t have any reviews! Started in August 2010, Feast is a food magazine for St. Louis. I don’t remember how it got started, but to some, there might have been a brouhaha (I remember reading a snarky article), and there were lots of questions over whether St. Louis could sustain a second food magazine (the first one being Sauce). I’m glad to say that there is plenty of room for both!
This is really a 4.5 star review, but as usual, I don’t round up. I love Feast in that it’s free, and I think it does a better job with publication and availability. I like the glossy print over the newspaper print of Sauce’s, but hey, when it comes down to it, I devour both. And that’s how it should be. Feast gets two thumbs up because they are really available in a lot of places… I like how I can pick up a copy at my local Schnuck’s and if they run out, they have the current issue online. It’s always harder for me to find Sauce for some reason, and they haven’t used the social marketing advantage as well as Feast has.
I think both magazines have great content, and I enjoy how Feast continually updates its feeds and gets involved with the community. Sometimes though, I feel that it’s a close-​knit community… of who knows whom at their events… so that’s where the ½ star deduction comes from.
