This is a nice surprise! One of my X followers gifted me with a copy of McAtlas, a beautiful coffee table book featuring hundreds of photos of unique McDonald’s locations and food items from around the world! This will be a very fun read.

Dear Friends -- It us with great sadness I announced that I've been laid off by Vox Media, along with a number of my colleagues, and will no longer be contributing to Eater NY, a role I've had for over 10 years. Thanks for your support, and stay tuned for future projects.
