Yes, it was 2008 when Karen McCullough (original co-publisher and co-owner) approached me about publishing Edible Dallas & Fort Worth magazine with her. She had a vision and excitement that started a fire in me, and I realized that we could create an awareness in the way DFW looks at local food and that we could fi nd the stories that are the background of this movement. Thank you, Karen, for your vision. Thank you to my sister, Terri Taylor, who has been the editor of Edible DFW since Fall 2010, who has no boundaries when it comes to giving 100% of her time to make sure that every article is the best possible. I’m sure that every writer and photographer who she has worked with her would agree.
And thanks to our readers. Meeting so many of you at farmers markets and events has been a thrill. Thank you for all your positive comments and well wishes. I look forward to getting to know many more of you in the years to come.
And a very, very special thanks to our staff , writers, photographers and advertisers who have made these five years possible. There are two pages in this issue especially for you. I am so grateful for all of your hard work and support. What was once a dream has become a reality.
