What happens when an Italian coffee dynasty, a filmmaker, an eccentric, and one of the world’s great chefs dream up a restaurant? Turin’s Condividere is the subject of a new book co-authored by R&K’s Eugenio Signoroni. In the murky past before Roads & Kingdoms, I had very little connection with, or affinity for, fine dining. I was working at Time Magazine on what could safely be considered more pressing topics. But we had a gourmand named Howard Chua-Eoan running the news desk, and he had convinced the bosses to give ample coverage to Ferran Adrià, the gruff and mysterious thinker…

I had an MRI today; the tech was a giant gym bro. Very sharp. Nice haircut. Very polite and professional. He asked me what I wanted to listen to during the test. I drew a blank. This was because I had to take a quarter of a pill to keep my mild claustrophobia. “No preference.” “Are you sure? We have Pandora…” “Just something, soft. Nothing jarring. I think I’m just going to get in there, close my eyes and pray,” I said. “That’d be best,” he responded. I relaxed pretty well in the tube and some soft love song came…

The James Webb Space Telescope, launched in 2021 and on active duty since 2022, has gotten its legs viewing already known exoplanets but can now take credit for its first direct image of a previously unknown one. Exoplanets have been detected since 1992 when two, named named Poltergeist and Phobetor, were found orbiting the pulsar PSR B1257+12. Since then they have become key targets in astronomy, in hopes that capturing snapshots in time can help us understand how planetary systems form. Thousands have been detected indirectly but because they are less bright due to being ‘drowned out’ by light from their…

This day, the Fourth of July, is my favorite holiday. I love it for a few reasons. I love the summer, and the warm nights that allow me to stay outside under the stars without hunching over from chill. I love that there are at least two more months of hot weather here in the mountains, which means morning hikes and afternoon pool time. I love that the Fourth is a good reason to spend extra time with friends and family, and eat stone fruit, and make ice cream, and wear swimsuits. But I mostly love Independence Day because I…

Paris is filled with famous attractions: the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Versailles, the catacombs, the Pantheon, the Arc de Triomphe, Sacre-Coeur. The list goes on. There are so many amazing sites here that you could spend days (heck, even weeks) just seeing the main, most well-known ones. But there’s more to Paris than the sites that attract thousands upon thousands of visitors each day. While I was living in Paris the past few months, I made it my mission to see some of the more unusual, lesser-known (but equally awesome) attractions (that didn’t come with the aggravating crowds that make…
