Combining an historianās rigor with a food enthusiastās palate, Paul Freedmanās 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 Franciscoās fabled Mandarin; evoking the poignant nostalgia of Howard Johnsonās, the beloved roadside chain that foreshadowed the pandemic of McDonaldās; or chronicling the convivial lunchtime crowd at Schrafftās, the first dining establishment to cater to womenās tastes, Freedman uses each restaurant to reveal a wider story of race and class, immigration and assimilation. āAs much about the contradictions and contrasts in this country as it is about its places to eatā (The New Yorker), Ten Restaurants That Changed America is a āmust-readā (Eater) that proves āessential for anyone who cares about where they go to dinnerā (Wall Street Journal Magazine).
