About Signs of Good Food

Welcome to Signs of Good Food—we’re happy to see you here!

Created by deaf chef David Uzzell and deaf engineer Brienna Herold, Signs of Good Food explores the intersection of good food and sign language, through the lens of the different meanings of the word “signs”:

• Signs or indicators of good food: Discover recipes, game-changing cooking hacks, and techniques to take your culinary skills to the next level.
• Sign language: Connect with the signing foodie community, expand culinary vocabulary in sign language, and see how deaf people around the world are reshaping restaurants into welcoming, inclusive, and groundbreaking spaces.
• Signage and other tools for restaurant accessibility: Learn how deaf people navigate accessibility in restaurants, whether as diners or as chefs or line cooks in the kitchen.
