"A truly international survey of restaurant history. Flavorful and scintillating."
— Paul Freedman, Chester D. Tripp Professor of History, Yale University
“Rawson and Shore offer a tantalizing trip through the history of eating out from the first restaurants up to today. We meet the restaurant as a place that bristles with innovation, as an institution that has fundamentally altered the ways in which food is prepared, served, and consumed, and one that has itself undergone profound social transformations—in the kitchen staff, the service personnel, and the diners. This lavishly illustrated book and its lively text makes the reader hungry for more.”
— Susan Pollock, professor, Freie Universität Berlin, and professor emeritus, Harpur College, State University of New York at Binghamton
