Li Goldstein head shot - Epicurious

Li Goldstein

Associate Newsletter Editor

Li reports on food culture for both Epicurious and Bon Appétit, such as Chipotle’s downfall, the Stanley Cup’s rebirth as millennial totem, and why some recipes never go out of style. She also writes about restaurant etiquette, awards, and the forces shaping them, and once tallied the bedlam of the food internet via her column Delicious or Distressing? Li hails from New Haven, CT, and New York City—but holds fast to the truth that Pizza Marvin in Providence, Rhode Island, runs the game when talk turns toward pizza. Li studied English at Brown University, where she served as the managing editor of the Brown Daily Herald. She is published in VinePair (where she worked as an editorial intern) and in the Boston Globe.
