St. Louis food magazine to debut in August

Lee has released a few more details on its previously announced St. Louis food magazine.

Feast, the new niche publication will debut in August, according to a news release from publisher Catherine Neville. Neville said the "broad-based, monthly culinary magazine that celebrates St. Louis' food culture" will debut with a circulation of 70,000, and will be distributed free at more than 500 St. Louis-area locations. The magazine also has established a website, feaststl.com.

Lee hired Neville to lead its new publication in March. Neville co-founded Sauce Magazine, an 11-year-old website-turned-magazine, is a free monthly St. Louis food publication.

Brandi Wills, former managing editor of St. Louis Homes & Lifestyles magazine, has been hired as Feast's managing editor.
