About The Project
The contest is now closed, but keep those submissions coming!
SMITH Magazine and Chow challenge you to define your food life in just six words.
Ah, the food life we've lived. We could go on and on.… But what about six words? Could you tell the story of your food life? Last year, SMITH Magazine asked people for their six-word memoirs and collected them in a book, Not Quite What I was Planning: Six Word Memoirs from Writers Famous and Obscure (It includes Mario Batali’s submission, "Brought it to a boil. Often.")
Can you define your food life in just six well-mixed words? Tell us your tiny tale and you could win a copy of SMITH's new book or even an iPod nano (personalized with your winning submission, of course). Come on — you searched, you found, you ate. Tell us. What's your story?
