| Description: | About the development of American restaurants since the late 1700s, including stories about the kinds of food served, about restaurateurs, patrons, customs, and well-known and unknown places, high and low, all over the USA. Topics have included the drive-ins run by Richard Nixon's brother, refusal of service to Afro-American patrons, tipping, garnishes, the Automat, and blue plate specials. Most popular posts are in the series "Taste of a Decade" of which I've completed about 9 decades so far. Based on serious research but short and studded with fascinating details. |
