Download The Last Days of Haute Cuisine: The Coming of Age of American Restaurants AudioBook Free
Combining an insider's passion with down-to-earth humor, chef and food copy writer Patric Kuh traces the development of American high-style restaurants from the 1941 beginning of Le Pavillon to the recent go up of less traditional restaurants, such as Le Cirque, Spago, and Danny Meyer's Union Square group. Kuh calls for viewers inside this high-stakes business, posting little-known anecdotes, describing renowned cooks and bright new superstar chefs, and relating his own reminiscences. Filled by a bunch of food personalities, including Julia Child, M.F.K. Fisher, and Adam Beard, Kuh's social and cultural record of America's great restaurants shows the dramatic transformations in U.S. food.
