Table Tales
150-word stories on food and memory
Fish is Family
Family fishing trips meant mahi mahi tossed in panko breadcrumbs, deep fried until “GBD” – golden, brown, delicious.
Love in the Time of Nando’s
After a year of FaceTiming, we met for the first time at Birmingham’s New Street Station and we found our elbows intertwined without any hint of awkwardness.
Quarantine Bread

About Table Tales
We are a group that formed during the COVID-19 stay-at-home orders. We met weekly via Zoom to discuss writing, food, family, music, and anything else that came up. What we discovered as we wrote about food was that the stories were about our families, our friends, and the person we were at the time of the meal.
