Like many a love, we believe it was fate,

In a tribute to one of our favorite Deucers, Anthony Bourdain, writer Ryan Pfeffer offered a bit of history on the love the celebrity chef had for Mac Klein and his bar Mac's Club Deuce.

We can't say when we first met Anthony Bourdain, but we know it was well before his latest visit. Like many, Bourdain thinks of Mac's Club Deuce as a home away from home.
