I love the amount of Tony Bourdain tributes I seem to keep stumbling across on Substack. It's a rabbit hole I'm more than happy to be tumbling down. Also loved the outfitting research, I think most of us harbour a desire in some part of ourselves to dress like the great man.

Thanks for reading Jacob! Tony's dress was effortless, sourced from durable wear and fine reliable material

This entire piece. Fantastic. Resonant. Irreverent. Predictive but not pandering. Thank you.

I read "Kitchen Confidential" in April whole on my first solo trip in years and it helped me fully INDULGE, also for the first time in years, maybe ever. I bought "A Cook's Tour" right after and started it last night. Loved this piece <3
