CB Owens is a food and travel writer who is obsessed with the lands of his Viking ancestors. He even speaks Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian (though perhaps not very well, as Scandinavians tend to answer him in their annoyingly flawless English). He’s been an editor at nine magazines, everywhere from Lucky Peach to Travel + Leisure, and in between grad school classes is also studying to become a licensed Greenwich Village walking tour guide.
