Cover Story
It’s dinnertime somewhere, so, naturally, Scene writers are thinking about food. An eclectic bunch with tastes to match, our hungry scribes have scoured the international markets, the junk-food aisles, the treasured recipes—even the friendly skies—to deliver a bountiful menu of stories.
Jonathan Marx navigates a world of breads available for $2 or less, while Nicki Wood explores the expensive taste of Russian caviar. Carrington Fox asks, “What’s next?” in a world of limited ingredients and limitless imagination, and former flight attendant Duncan St. Clair gives a first-class account of dining at altitude. Southern food aficionado and author John Egerton washes it all down with his own recipe for mint tea.
If these pages don’t make you drool, we hope they at least make you think about what you’re eating next time you tuck into a khobz, an osetra or a cheesy poof.
Enjoy your meal.
