Field Notes

Shock Wave

True Grit • The Baja 1000 is one of the world’s toughest off-road races, and few are talented (and crazy) enough to run it solo on two wheels. We follow along as one madman goes for glory.

The Bourbon Excursion • Kentucky’s two largest cities, Louisville and Lexington, are renowned for their booze. But a road trip between the two proves that spirits are just a starting place.

Keeping It Simple • Teague Moriarty makes Michelin-starred food at Sons & Daughters in San Francisco, but at home he’s all about batching chicken thighs and eating his mom’s special pesto with the family.

Use Your Bean • The humble bean is having a long-deserved moment. They’re easier to make and tastier than ever. Prepare to kick the can.

A MAGICAL FRUIT • Five heirloom varieties you’ve never heard of—and need to try.

Old-Fashioned Italians • Chiantis and Barolos are buonissimo, for sure. But Italy has hundreds of lesser-known native grape varieties that local vino drinkers have served for generations. Here are four to try.

First Class All the Way • Wherever you go, the luxe new travel accessories splashed over the next few pages will make you feel (and look) like you deserve to stay in the penthouse suite.

WATERPROOFING—THE MEANING BEHIND THE LABELS

Outfit an Adventure Dog • Sharing epic trips with your pup requires training—and the right gear. Here’s how to keep your pet pal safe and comfortable.

The Fire Inside • When firing up the grill is too much hassle for a couple of burgers, countertop options claim to deliver the same char. We tested to see which ones would do our patties proud.

The Pearly Protectors • We tested the newest batch of electric toothbrushes to find the one true king of clean.

Easy Haulers • Standard canvas tote bags aren’t much good beyond the beach, but thanks to sturdier fabrics and smarter features, these upgraded versions are ready for everyday carry.
