Read This: Prince’s personal chefs talk about what the reclusive musician ate

Even though he was small of stature, Prince was such a larger-than-life figure in the public imagination that he seemed superhuman or even supernatural. For fans, it might be odd to think of him doing “normal” things like eating to survive. But his shocking death last week has brought Prince’s mortality into sharp focus. He, too, sat down to meals on occasion. But what, exactly, did he eat at those meals? That’s the subject of a strangely poignant article at City Pages by Mecca Bos, who interviews Ray and Juell Roberts, two married Minnesota restaurant owners who served as Prince’s personal chefs for the last three years. Still very much in mourning for an employer to whom they were extremely loyal, the Roberts family offers some insight into Prince’s extremely private, well-guarded personal life. His last, uneaten meal, for example, was roasted red pepper bisque with a kale salad on the side.
