Alice Levitt

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2018

I'm an award-winning restaurant critic and food editor always in search of the next delicious discovery. With more than 15 years experience, I've spent time interning with a whole animal butcher in Vermont, ventured to Xinjiang for cheese, and spoken about pizza at a conference in Calabria. I'm currently based in Virginia, where I'm known as "Alice the Food Lady" on The Don Geronimo Show, but I'm always ready to hop on a plane for a great story.
