Anthony Bourdain imagined the audience for his 1999 essay “Don’t Eat Before Reading This,” about working in restaurant kitchens, would be insular and small. “I thought, I’m going to write something that will entertain other cooks, maybe I’ll get a hundred bucks, and my fry cook will find this funny,” he recalled nearly two decades later, during an appearance at The New Yorker Festival. When the article found its way into The New Yorker—after Bourdain’s mother suggested to a New York Times colleague, Esther Fein, that Fein’s husband, David Remnick, the magazine’s new editor, might want to take a look—“it transformed my life within two days,” Bourdain said.
“The voice he introduced in ‘Don’t Eat Before Reading This’ is not just brash and ballsy; it reverberates with style and poetry,” Hannah Goldfield writes, in a reflection about the essay in this week’s issue. Bourdain grips you from his tantalizing opening lines: “Good food, good eating, is all about blood and organs, cruelty and decay. It’s about sodium-loaded pork fat, stinky triple-cream cheeses, the tender thymus glands and distended livers of young animals. It’s about danger—risking the dark, bacterial forces of beef, chicken, cheese, and shellfish.” Revisit the piece that catapulted Bourdain to fame: https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jxf5cq

Be aware of what's going on... only vigilance about this along with proactivity will lead to positive results.

3I/ATLAS, the third known interstellar comet, is about to re-emerge from behind the Sun—bringing new data and new questions.

In just four months, 3I/ATLAS has rewritten the rules on what we expect from comets. Discovered on July 1, 2025, by the ATLAS survey in Chile, this fast-moving visitor crosses into the inner solar system with an eccentricity of about 6.1 and a velocity near 57 km/s—clear signatures of an interstellar origin. When closest to the Sun (1.36 AU, around 203 million km), 3I/ATLAS will still remain a safe 1.8 AU from Earth.

Astronomers worldwide have tracked this comet using the Kottamia, Palomar, and Apache Point Observatories. High-resolution images reveal a dust cloud and a small, icy core, estimated mostly under 1 km wide. Photometric measurements show it ejects dust grains in the micrometer-to-millimeter range at rates up to 1 kg/s, similar to known solar system comets, yet its redder color hints at a unique composition.

What truly sets 3I/ATLAS apart is its blend of familiar and bizarre: from an unusually red hue to mysterious tail dynamics and chemical signatures never before detected in natural comets. Its hyperbolic path means it will leave our solar system forever, but before it goes, its up-close encounter with the Sun may teach us more about the chemistry and birthplaces of planetary systems far beyond our own.
