Weekend Reading Vol. 15: Missing Bourdain
Bourdain's death hit me harder than I expected. From Instagram:
Thanks to Anthony Bourdain, food is now the destination, not the afterthought. A master storyteller and our invisible travel buddy, he will be hugely missed. (All of the above were Bourdain’s recommendations in the Paris episode of The Layover. He did not once lead us astray. Not shown: the best meal of my life at Le Baratin.)
Read about us eating our way through Bourdain's Paris recommendations here and here.
