Reviews

A lyrical meditation on nourishment, conversation, and our fantasies that are all the more vital for being inevitably disappointed. * Rebecca L. Spang, author of The Invention of the Restaurant * This wonderful book ventures into the belly of the beast: post-pandemic America's reckoning with its appetites. Duff artfully exposes the question of the restaurant's future to be one of the pressing problems of our time."" * Margret Grebowicz, Maxwell C. Weiner Distinguished Professor of the Humanities, Missouri University of Science and Technology, USA * A smart and engaging account of what it means to eat in a restaurant today, what it doesn't mean, and what it can mean if we are careful and thoughtful enough. * Robert Appelbaum, author of Dishing It Out: In Search of the Restaurant Experience *
