A History of America Through Its Restaurants
The Leonard Lopate Show | Jan 5, 2017
Melissa Clark guest hosts today!
In his new book Ten Restaurants That Changed America, Paul Freedman selects the restaurants that have influenced the U.S. – starting in the 1830s when the first restaurant in the U.S. was opened. Freedman describes how our changing eating habits reflect larger social changes like immigration, middle-class car ownership, and the evolving status of women.
