Finalist for the IACP Cookbook AwardA Washington Post Notable Book of the YearA Smithsonian Best Food Book of the YearLonglisted for the Art of Eating PrizeFeaturing a new chapter on ten restaurants changing America today, a fascinating . . . sweep through centuries of food culture (Washington Post).Combining an historians rigor with a food enthusiasts palate, Paul Freedmans seminal and highly entertaining Ten Restaurants That Changed America reveals how the history of our restaurants reflects nothing less than the history of America itself. Whether charting the rise of our love affair with Chinese food through San Franciscos fabled Mandarin; evoking the poignant nostalgia of Howard Johnsons, the beloved roadside chain that foreshadowed the pandemic of McDonalds; or chronicling the convivial lunchtime crowd at Schraffts, the first dining establishment to cater to womens tastes, Freedman uses each restaurant to reveal a wider story of race and class, immigration and assimilation. As much about the contradictions and contrasts in this country as it is about its places to eat (The New Yorker), Ten Restaurants That Changed America is a must-read (Eater) that proves essential for anyone who cares about where they go to dinner (Wall Street Journal Magazine).
