About

My name is Chris Malloy, and I'm a writer covering food, culture, innovation, tech, and more. These days, I live in Arizona’s Sonoran Desert.

My specialty is feature writing. I’m most at home far from home, telling stories about great challenges and people on epic quests.

For stories, I’ve shadowed urban foragers down cracked alleys, sipped lager at an experimental Mexican barbecue, joined a quest to brew wild ale in a forest, and hiked to a lost frontier-era mountain orchard with scientists. I’ve toured arid farms revitalizing ancient crops, visited dead and dying rivers, studied digital assets and solar energy, and gone hunting with Apaches.

I’ve written for Bloomberg, The Guardian, The Boston Globe, Saveur, Bon Appetit, Conde Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, and many others. These days, I take on a few select projects per year.
