Hello! Welcome to Tap Is Fine!

This newsletter is dedicated to the business of eating.

My name is Khushbu Shah and I spent the past four years doing loops around the United States (and a few international cities), finding all the best new chefs in teh country as the Restaurant Editor at Food & Wine.

I wrote a cookbook that came out last June called AMRIKAN: 101 Recipes from the Indian American Diaspora. It was one of Barnes and Nobles best books of the year last year — NPR, too.

I love the newsletter format because it isn’t beholden to page views or SEO or regular updates — things you’re always up against working for a publisher or media company. There is freedom here to get really weird or hyper niche, and I will be doing just that.

What You Can Expect

Here is what you can expect from Tap Is Fine!:

A newsletter every week, though you will usually get two. One is free and one is paid.

They will both make you the most interesting person to speak to at any dinner party.
