After taking the summer off, we're back with issue 9 of Toothache Magazine. Many of the conversations focused on how each chef has been handling the past two years of the pandemic, the changes they've made to their lives and restaurants, and what they want to see moving forward with our industry. Many of us in restaurants have left to pursue other passions or for better working conditions. Many others are still fighting for restaurants to become more equitable and fair. These are just some of the topics discussed in this issue of Toothache - and as always, it's filled with beautiful full-page food photos and packed with recipes. Whether or not you live and breathe the kitchen life, Toothache issue nine is a great read.
