Lucky Peach Issue 9: The Cooks & Chefs Issue #2

"By popular demand, 'Lucky Peach #9' is our second Cooks & Chefs issue-- aka Cooks & Chefs 2.0: once more, with feeling. Francis Lam pays a visit to the lauded but elusive Alex Lee; Peter Meehan talks life (and how it happens to a cook) with legendary pastry chef Claudia Fleming. Daniel Boulud and Michael Anthony school us in the art of omelet-making. Pulitzer-prize-winning writer Jonathan Gold and funny-as-hell artist Lisa Hanawalt hop on board as new columnists.

And there's a magazine inside the magazine, like a Russian nesting doll: with content culled from Rene Redzepi's annual MAD food conference, which 'Lucky Peach' had the honor of co-curating. The theme, this year, was GUTS, both literal and figurative. We heard from an array of speakers: chefs, of course, and activists, filmmakers, and a schoolgirl too. Their talks were inspiring for cooks, chefs, and eaters alike"
