Synopsis

Before Julia Child, Alice Waters and Wolfgang Puck, the restaurateurs and entrepreneurs of the early twentieth century were changing the way America ate. Beginning with the simplest eateries and foods and culminating with the emergence of a genuinely American way of fine dining, Repast takes readers on a culinary tour of early-twentieth-century restaurants and dining. The innovations introduced at the time - in ingredients, technologies, meal service and cuisine - transformed the act of eating in public in ways that still exist today.
