Özet

From Delmonico's to Sylvia's to Chez Panisse, a daring and original history of dining out in America as told through 10 legendary restaurants.

Combining a historian's rigor with a foodie's palate, 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 Francisco's fabled the Mandarin, evoking the richness of Italian food through Mamma Leone's, or chronicling the rise and fall of French haute cuisine through Henri Soulé's Le Pavillon, food historian Paul Freedman uses each restaurant to tell a wider story of race and class, immigration and assimilation. Freedman also treats us to a scintillating history of the then-revolutionary Schrafft's, a chain of convivial lunch spots that catered to women, and that bygone favorite, Howard Johnson's, which pioneered on-the-road dining only to be swept aside by McDonald's.

Ten Restaurants That Changed America is a significant and highly entertaining social history.

The sort of book you will keep stopping and saying 'listen to this!' to whoever is in the room with you. The terrapin was almost wiped out in america because of the turtle-soup craze! Hamburgers and hotdogs became the American eating-out standards because German refugees were the first immigrants to open cheap eateries! Italian food was considered unhealthy at the turn of the century because it had too much variety and vegetables! The most fascinating chapters for me where the ones on Shcraffts (catering to the first generation of 'respectable' women to have their own money to eat out with) Howard Johnsons (frozen supply chains and car culture), and the Mandarin (a gallop through the history of chinese immigration to the US). The later chapters- Le Pavillon, The Four Seasons, Chez Panisse- are less interesting as they are less culture oriented and more food-oriented, focusing on fine dining for the wealthy (just one middle-class chain or long-running neighbourhood eatery would have been good for the modern era) but thoruoughly enjoyed this whole book. The writer is a medieval historian with a food hobby, which gives this book both academic rigor but the liveliness of a passion project. Reading was clear and unobtrusive.

Feast of history and factoids

A truly fascinating and absorbing book that was well researched, accessibly written and superbly read (by an actor from The Dark Knight no less). Will listen to this again…!

Loved every minute of this book.
