[croissants]

+1 for Lucky Peach. It's been out of print for a few years now, but you can pick up issues from eBay and used bookstores for $5-10 each if you're patient and willing to buy multiple issues at once.

Each issue is about one topic (Chinatown, Summer, All You Can Eat, Plants, etc.) and has some mix of recipes, travelogue, art, fiction, memoir, history, etc. If you're interested in food, this is some of the most "fun" food writing around. A personal favorite of mine is the "Fantasy" issue, which is written around chefs and dishes that don't exist, and kind of doubles as an affectionate parody of food writing.
