Freelance Food Writer – Mashed

About the role

Mashed is looking for writers who know how to find the story behind the headline. You’ll cover timely developments across the food and dining landscape — from buzzy restaurant openings and fast‑food menu drops to grocery‑store finds, celebrity chef news, and viral food products — bringing curiosity, personality, and a sharp eye for the details readers actually care about. Whether it’s a surprising menu change, a viral product, an industry shakeup, or a new food trend gaining momentum, your work will turn the latest from the food world into engaging, accessible stories. If you’re endlessly curious about food and skilled at transforming fresh developments into lively, informative reporting, we’d love to have you.
