IS THIS COFFEE WORTHY?
When you have dire plans for destiny, the last thing you need is substandard coffee. (Or, Odin-forbid, decaf!)
If the quality of your coffee is a question you need answered, pick up the Thor Hammer 20oz Sculpted Mug. The breath of Odin himself engraved the words on the side: “Whoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor.” The cool Celtic-inspired knotwork was added by human hands.
It’s easy to develop a special, intimate relationship with a coffee mug like this. Just don’t smash it. That’s disrespectful, and we don’t have magic here that can re-assemble it.
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
