Food and music: Alex Kapranos

Watch out for the idiosyncratic food columns by Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos in The Guardian newspaper. After tip-off from my workmate about Kapranos being about to publish a collection of the columns, I went searching for them online. They’re pieces about the foods that former Glaswegian sous-chef Kapranos encounters while on tour with the band – a burger at Anthony Bourdain‘s Les Halles, blowfish in Osaka, the best New York donuts, street food in Singapore. Here are a few links to his most recent articles:
