When restaurants are toxic, everyone’s complicit

Culture

An open letter to restaurant owners, patrons, and all those who enjoy paying to have someone bring them their food.

Tone Madison was a journalist-owned, reader-supported website covering culture and politics in Madison, Wisconsin. We launched in October 2014 and kept publishing our journalism until April 2026, when Tone Madison’s worker-owners made the painful decision to close the publication.

The site remains online as an archive of the work we created over nearly 12 years, but Tone Madison is no longer actively in operation.
