Marnie Shure
Chicago Editor
Marnie grew up in the Chicago suburbs and went to college in an Illinois cornfield, so ardently defending the Midwest (and its many culinary delights) is something of a personal mission. She loves comedy and forming strong opinions about candy, and would be more than happy to engage you in a polite, respectful debate about either one anytime.
