ANNA MINDESS

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2022

I've written about food, culture and travel for the Washington Post, AFAR, Lonely Planet, Fodor's, KQED, The Los Angeles Times, and many other publications, often with a focus on immigrant-owned restaurants. I also work as an American Sign Language interpreter and hold an MA in Language and Culture. Intertwining these two careers, I've visited and written about Deaf-owned restaurants in Paris, Taipei and Beijing.
