About This Item
Viking Books, 2001. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Fine. 6x1x9. Snooty waiters, seating by social pedigree, and food copied from the classical French canon--these facts of restaurant life are mostly gone from our modern dining scene. But how did this status-based system, typical of the postwar period, mutate into today's uniquely American fine-dining "experience"--a populist stew of New Californian, ethnic, and domesticated French and Italian cooking? Patric Kuh's The Last Days of Haute Cuisine: America's Culinary Revolution tells all, deftly and with wit. "European gastronomy was about the few," says Kuh, "the American market about the many. When they came together they created a whole new form: the modern American restaurant.
