About the Cover: For our Local Food Issue, artist Trent Call/SLUG honor the late Anthony Bourdain, SLUG’s hands-down favorite anti-celebrity chef. Call’s illustration recalls Bourdain taking us along on his sojourns, communing with people across the globe through a passion for food. Read James Bennett’s Bourdain tribute (pg. 10), and for more of Call’s work, visit trentcall.com.
