food culture of the south

THE LOCAL PALATE
celebrates the food culture of the south through
the sharing of recipes, the showcasing of
personalities, and the highlighting of the unique things and people that make our region the rich
culinary landscape it is. Through the pages of TLP, you will meet culinary artisans, visit farms,
learn cooking methodologies and tips, and go behind-the-scenes with celebrated chefs. You will
become acquainted with the delicious South in ways you never would have imagined.
FOOD
CULTURE OF
THE SOUTH
A 2013 finalist for the James Beard journalism award in visual storytelling, The Local Palate
conveys varied content through vibrant imagery by award-winning photographers and artists.
This feast for the eyes is complemented by the words of award-winning writings. TLP is fresh,
varied, compelling, and beautiful.
Beginning in 2015, each of TLP’s ten annual issues will be tied to a specific theme, allowing
for both subjective and literal interpretations of the motifs that permeate our culinary lives
(“Comfort Food,” “Travel South,” and “Harvest,” to name a few). In every issue, we cover a diverse
sampling of culinary locales, we introduce food subcultures within our larger Southern food
culture, we offer unique cocktail recipes, creative seasonal menus, beautiful settings, how-tos,
and tips for food-inspired travel.
We welcome you to get to know The Local Palate; there is always a seat at our table.

EDITORIAL THEMES 2015
The themes TLP has selected are to be both literally and subjectively interpreted. Some
are fairly broad and straight forward (Comfort Food, BBQ|Grilling), so finding connections
or conceptualizing how pieces might fit is self-explanatory. Others are purposefully looser
(Southern Fusion, Travel South), to allow for more creative angles and a broader scope
of content. Additionally, we are committed to fitting pieces in where they make sense
seasonally. We are always open to unique, compelling pitches.

ADVERTISING
AGREEMENT
1. The forwarding of an order is construed as an acceptance of all the rates
and conditions at the time sold and is a binding agreement.
2. The Publisher has final approval on placement, size, and format on all ads
supplied to The Local Palate from any source.
3. All advertising space rates are based on receipt of exact size digital file.
4. The Publisher will not be responsible for the production of ad materials that
are not supplied as exact size digital file.
5. In the event of an error in any advertisement caused by the Publisher, the
Publisher shall not be responsible for any amount in excess of the cost of
the advertisement in which the error appears.
6. It is agreed the Publisher shall not be liable for failure to print, publish, or
distribute all or any portion of an issue in which an advertisement accepted
by the Publisher is to appear if such failure is caused by circumstances
beyond the control of the Publisher including, but not limited to, acts of God,
fires, strikes, lockouts, accidents, posted delays, forces majeure, inability to
obtain paper stock, and acts of government.
7. Positioning of advertisements is at the sole discretion of the Publisher.
8. Orders containing incorrect rates will be inserted and charged at correct rates.
9. All contents of advertisements are subject to Publisher’s approval.
Publisher reserves the right to reject or cancel any advertisement or
insertion order at any time.
10. No contract changes for advertising space, ad changes, or
downgrading in color or ad size will be accepted (written or verbal)
within 30 days of the ad materials due date as outlined by The Local
Palate in this contract.
11. All advertisements are accepted and published by the Publisher on the
representation that the Advertiser and/or Advertising Agency are properly
authorized to publish the entire contents and subject matter thereof. When
advertisements containing the names, pictures, and/or testimonials of
living persons are submitted for publication, the order or request for the
publication thereof shall be deemed to be representation by the Advertiser
and/or Advertising Agency that they have obtained the written consent of
the use in the advertisement of the name, picture, and/or testimonial of any
living person which is contained herein. It is understood that the Advertiser
and/or Advertising Agency will indemnify and hold the Publisher harmless from and against any loss, expense, or other liability resulting from
any claims or suits filed for libel, violation of rights of privacy, plagiarism,
copyright infringement, and any other claims or suits that may arise out of
the publication of such advertisement. All copy, text, and illustrations are
subject to the Publisher’s approval before execution of the order; and the
right is reserved to reject or exclude copy which is unethical, misleading,
extravagant, challenging, questionable in character, in bad taste, detrimental to public health or interest, otherwise inappropriate or incompatible with
the character of the publication, or that does not meet with the approval of
the Federal Trade Commission; whether or not the same has already been
accepted and/or published. In the event of such cancellation or rejection by
the Publisher, the advertising already run shall be paid for or billed at the
rate provided for in the order.
12. The Publisher assumes no liability if for any reason it becomes necessary
to omit an advertisement.
13. Orders for advertising containing restrictions or specifying position(s), facings, editorial or other requirements may be accepted or published but such
restrictions or specifications will be at The Local Palate’s sole discretion.
14. Advertising materials will be held for three months from the date of publication,
then destroyed unless prior return is specified in writing from advertiser.
15. Terms are net 30 from the invoice date. Delinquent accounts will be
charged 2% each month past due. New advertisers are required to give
a credit card number to reserve space. If payment has not been made 30
days after the invoice date, Peninsula Publishing (The Local Palate) reserves
the right to process the credit card for the full amount of the invoice without
permission of the advertiser, it’s agent(s), or any authorized representative(s) of the advertiser.
16. Client must give 30 days written notice prior to the ad materials due
date for the issue(s) they wish to cancel. Advertisers that choose to
cancel their contract will be responsible for paying 50% of the contracted total of all remaining ads to be cancelled. *Example: If a client
is contracted for (2) ads at the $1000 rate each and cancels one ad,
the client is responsible for paying $500 to The Local Palate.
17. All Advertisers will be presumed to have read and understood these terms
and agreed to these conditions in their entirety without any further changes.
Failure to communicate an acceptance or change of an ad proof supplied
by TLP by camera ready art due date will be considered an acceptance and
approval of the ad. If this process is not followed, we will pick up a like ad
previously produced for TLP and run such ad.
18. In the event that collection is necessary or an action is filed to collect any
amount owed under this Agreement, the Publisher is entitled to recover from
the Advertiser its reasonable attorney’s fees and all other costs incurred.
19. Disputes of any kind which seek legal action will be resolved in a court of
law in Charleston County, South Carolina.
20.Ad design approval, sign off, or written or verbal acknowledgement of
acceptance of an ad proof by an advertiser, it’s agent(s), or representative(s) is hereby deemed as acceptance and confirmation of proof of
performance of an ad being designed and agreed to, as well as having run
in The Local Palate magazine.
