Lucky Peach, Issue 7

Lucky Peach #7 , the TRAVEL issue, is about going places—and sometimes getting lost. ANTHONY BOURDAIN talks Deliverance , Apocalypse Now , and Southern Comfort . HAROLD MCGEE schools us about the (possibly) harmful substances that travel from plastic to-go containers and into our food. ROY CHOI waxes poetic on “the Aloha spirit.” JASON POLAN visits the most beautiful Taco Bell in the world. And it wouldn’t be a travel issue without travel tips how to avoid traveler’s diarrhea ( BENJAMIN WOLFE ), the ins and outs of street food ( RICK BAYLESS ), and all about traveling with kids ( NAOMI DUGUID ). Ultimately, we learn that getting lost means finding good stuff in places we least expect chicken tamales at a gay cantina in Mérida; the world’s most dangerous chicken in Rio de Janeiro; an epic sub on the Jersey Shore. the history of curry—the world’s best traveled dish—from bunny chow to fish-head curry, along with recipes too.Travel tips from AZIZ ANSARI , JONATHAN GOLD , MARIO BATALI , and morePunk rock touring with BROOKS HEADLEYOn the road with ANDY RICKEREating camel with ANISSA HELOUCocktail recipes straight from the minibarDispatches from Crete, Tartarstan, North KoreaNew fiction by JACK PENDARVISHawaiian recipes from ROY CHOI and CHRISTINA TOSI
