Hanna Raskin is the editor and founder of The Food Section, a subscription newsletter and website that provides original, inclusive and independent reporting on food and drink in the American South.
The Ledger published one of Raskin’s pieces last month about some of the culinary options offered at retirement communities in Charlotte. She visited six retirement communities to assess the trends and options available in their dining facilities. Read the full article here.
