Wm Brown, Issue 8 – The California Issue

WM Brown magazine celebrates craft, the well-made, and well-traveled life. Each issue is based on the season and how they approach style, food, drink, and the things that drive them. Published quarterly in Brooklyn, NY and meant to be a collectible.

Creator Matt Hranek is a photographer and magazine editor for Conde Nast Traveler magazine. He has been exploring, foraging, hunting, fishing and cooking for a large part of his life. These are some examples of his collected experiences and inspirations.

In this issue:
Our Summer 2021 issue is dedicated to California—a love affair with the beautiful state, it’s people, and all the amazing things that come from it. We grilled our friends to share their secrets…meeting up with some of the coolest characters like Zach Cowie, the music supervisor from Master of None, a wood sawyer named Evan Shively, oyster fisherman Neal Maloney, and bespoke hat maker Cody Wellema. We get up close and personal with Miles Fisher, hang out at an old school prime rib restaurant in SF that is certainly not farm-to-table, but then go to the opposite end of the spectrum, sitting down with Thomas Keller at The French Laundry. You’ll still find all your favorite sections, but they’ll be all from the Golden State!
