“The first of its kind, we intend for this magazine to become the “go-to” resource for all things street foods,” said Ford. “’

It also features articles on several California County Fairs, mobile foods buand six food reviews.
The magazine is focused at mobile food, food truck, food stand and event fans, generally 22 – 35 years old, and will be distributed at fairgrounds, including the California State Fair and street food carts and food trucks throughout California. Limited full- and half-page advertising space will be made available to advertisers, and monthly print distribution is planned to begin in April, 2012. Readers can find the digital version of “The Dish! Magazine” at https://stitchesndishes.com/dish-magazine each month.

Stitches ‘n Dishes became a Preferred Partner to the Food Network’s television series, Eat St. in January. The two will exchange content and collaborate in the promotion of the Eat St. mobile app for iPhone which enables people to locate and review and share food trucks and food stands anywhere in the country.
