Burn the Ice: The American Culinary Revolution and Its End

As the new millennium dawned, one of the things it brought was a restaurant mania; an age that was as golden as it was brief. Casual fine dining as found in remote cities like Portland or Omaha became as influential as anywhere in New York City or San Francisco. Mr. Alexander's thorough research cover's everything from new urbanism, the battle against suburbia, gentrification to identity politics, and venture capital. An important read for foodies, armchair anthropologists, and cultural historians, Burn the Ice not only recounts the brief golden age of restaurants but also examines what is coming next. Now with an afterward addressing the consequences of Covid19.
