Every month, Avery and Drew explore what we play, how we play, and why we play. From board and video games to escape rooms, from cat cafes to fantasy football, we believe that play is powerful. It’s an opportunity to explore power dynamics, practice agency, and discover how we can change the status quo through play. Play’s fulfillment, learning, and connection is what powers us, and that’s what makes it powerful!

Playing with Food and Drink

Food and drink are with us, and before us, every day. They’re part of the web of intercontinental trade, the ritual of cooking and eating, the morning rush of the mom-and-pop donut shop or closing time at a Michelin star restaurant. They’re in our global economics, our rituals from festivals to funerals, and our books, movies, and games! This month, Avery and Drew ask: are we really what we eat? How do we “play with our food,” even though our parents told us not to? From table side guacamole, to eating while dungeon delving, to sacred rituals involving eating and drinking, we’re here to talk about what food and drink represent, and why playing with them inherently connects us with who we are inside!
