Everyone feels he knows the restaurant business, the next restaurant, the celebrity chefs, and the latest trend. But how did we get here With passion and humor. The Last Days of Haute Cuisine
traces the evolution of la bonne table Americaine from the 1941 opening of Le Pavillon to restaurants such as Le Cirque, Spago, and Danny Meyer's Union Square group. Here are all the personalities, the visionaries, and the writers--from Julia Child to M.K. Fisher to James Beard--who created our modern gastronomic world. The story of the liberation of ethnic cuisine and what happened when haute cuisine came to America and its Elitist principles met our populist beliefs.
