From Delmonico’s to Sylvia’s to Chez Panisse, a daring and original history of dining out in America as told through ten 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 midcentury, on-the-road dining, only to be swept aside by McDonald's. Lavishly designed with more than 100 photographs and images, including original menus, Ten Restaurants That Changed America is a significant and highly entertaining social history.

A book like this lights up my life. I am not joking. Danny Meyer has changed people's lives as the events, conversations, connections, decisions and suggestions that took place over millions of meals his restaurants served have already changed the world. Thank you, Danny, you did a marvellous job.Pauls attention to detail and historical context enriches our understanding of cuisine in the USA. Delightfully he includes copies of old menus (I had a 10-year collection from the best French restaurants but they got lost) old photos and so much more. It's absolutely fascinating & I could go on. Wonderful - thank you both. If you are in London look me up...Let's do lunch!https://amzn.com/B01FEDVCKE
