Before we moved to South Bend, we took a quick visit up to the area. Madison checked out the clinic she inevitably would be hired at and I browsed the food and drink scene around Michiana. I was up at Lehman's when I first found a copy of Edible Michiana. I read through the most recent copy and enjoyed the quality of the stories and images that were throughout the magazine.

After we moved to South Bend, I reached out to the magazine. I was able to be a part of the upcoming issue with a profile on a historical building that was revamped to be a venue and wine bar.

A good chunk of the article focuses on the building itself and what it has meant to the community. As I worked on this piece, I was able to begin diving deeper into our new community and learn more about the history of the city. I spent time reading through other articles about the process of converting the building. This process brought me closer to South Bend and also encouraged me to start connecting more and more with those in the food and drink industry. Also, it is always enjoyable to make images of beautiful food and drink in amazing settings.
