Anthony Bourdain has eaten his way through nearly every crevice of the globe, and now he’s ready to taste a new frontier — the digital world.
Bourdain has been named editor-at-large for the website Roads & Kingdoms, a digital media company that covers global food, politics, travel and culture. The role came after Bourdain, a best-selling author and host of CNN’s “Parts Unknown,” became the site’s first outside investor. He wouldn’t disclose the amount invested.
“I became aware of the site pretty early on and was blown away by what I saw,” he said during a recent telephone interview. “This is smart, deeply immersive long-form stuff. Beautiful photographs. It’s not listicles. It’s not top 10s. It’s not click bait. It assumes a smart reader. … And I just really admire that.”
As editor, Bourdain will oversee a new series for the site, “Dispatched,” which will feature deep looks at food and culture around the world.
