THE PERIODIC TABLE CONFIRMS IT
As long as you’re human, technically you’re mostly oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. But the chemical symbols for those don’t really make a word. What’s an OCHNCaP? Well, we guess it could be a good label for a on you wear while surfing. But we digress.
Now germanium, nickel, uranium, and sulfur? That’s a combination we can really get behind, GeNiUS. And what better place to display it proudly than on your head, where you store all your smarts?
Kitchen Nightmares!
On a dark, haunted night, a Russian oligarch dares a circle of international chefs to play the samurai game of 100 Candles--where each storyteller spins a terrifying tale of ghosts, demons and unspeakable beings--and prays to survive the challenge.
Inspired by the Japanese Edo period game of Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, Hungry Ghosts reimagines the classic stories of yokai, yorei, and obake, all tainted with the common thread of food.
First course: With bad consequence, a ramen chef refuses to help a beggar, and a band of pirates get more (and less) than they were bargaining for after their encounter with a drowning woman turns ghastly.
Hungry Ghosts is cooked up by the infamous author and chef, Anthony Bourdain (Kitchen Confidential, Emmy-Award winning TV star of Parts Unknown) and acclaimed novelist Joel Rose (Kill, Kill, Faster, Faster, back again from their New York Times #1 best seller, Get Jiro!). Joining them this issue are stellar artists Alberto Ponticelli and Vanesa Del Rey, with amazing color by Jose Villarrubia, and a drop-dead cover by Paul Pope
