Gayle King on Warm-weather Escapes, Family Traditions, and the Pursuit of the Perfect Cheeseburger

"Gayle King has built a career on asking questions. From world leaders to cultural heavyweights, she's spent decades guiding conversations that shape headlines and, at times, history itself. And when she's not in the studio or on location for CBS, she's a traveler who craves sunshine, a self-described non-adventurous eater with exacting standards, and a woman who plans family reunion trips like the boss she is."

"King spent years of her childhood growing up in Ankara, Turkey, an experience she says shaped her worldview in ways she didn't fully grasp at the time. "When you're a little kid, you just go wherever your parents are," she says. "I didn't think of my lifestyle or what an experience I'm having. So, I went from Turkey to California to Connecticut to New York. I've sort of had a very eclectic childhood and eclectic life.""
