"It's so Fare to be going to the grandmother's kitchen..." Ben Mervis is editor-in-chief of Fare, the magazine that travels to a different city each issue to report on the food culture it finds there. For their latest issue they went off to Antwerp in Belgium, and as he explains, they completed their trips to the city by the start of March, just before coronavirus restrictions kicked in. But with COVID-19 severely limiting the travel and hospitality industries for the foreseeable future, they have made dramatic changes to the magazine to make sure they will be able to keep on publishing over the coming months.
