Roads And Kingdoms Magazine #1

Pleasure Seeking in a Deranged World

144 pages of arresting visuals and in-depth storytelling from writers, artists, and photographers around the world.

Issue 1 opens with a Letter from the Editor written by R&K co-founder Matt Goulding directly to our late partner, Anthony Bourdain.

In the pages that follow, you’ll find reporting from Gaza, Lagos, Rome, Tokyo, California, and Caracas. You’ll find short fiction, photo essays, original illustrations, interviews, and reportage. You’ll also find “The R&K 50,” our definitive, unranked global list of the restaurants that our favorite chefs, writers, and eaters think of as second homes, including contributions from Eric Ripert, René Redzepi, Palisa Anderson, Virgilio Martinez, Matty Matheson, and many, many more.
