    About the series

    Magazine-style interviews with the people building Cambridge's food scene.

    Founder's Table is a slow, considered counterpart to our reviews and guides. Each episode is a long-form written interview with a single founder — built around the story, the product, and the decisions behind it. No sponsorships, no shortcuts. Just the conversation.
