Word of Mouth: What We Talk about When We Talk about Food Volume 50 Hardcover - 2014
by Priscilla Parkhurst Ferguson
From the rear cover
Ferguson makes sense of the confusing current restaurant scene. With engaging wit she reveals the tension between comfort and novelty, chefs and diners, informality and unpredictability. In the twenty-first century, restaurants have tossed away the old rule book of haute cuisine but they have also created a new and often mysterious set of expectations and experiences. Ferguson effectively cracks this new code. --Paul Freedman, Yale University What is that noise? In this impressive survey of the ever-increasing cacophony of food--from the movie theater to the bookshelf to the tables of the world's best restaurants--Ferguson explores how the complex dialogue of social norms and identity wrapped up in the way we feed ourselves has changed as our food culture has evolved. We aren't just what we eat, we are what the stories we tell about what we eat mean to oursleves and to others. --Mitchell Davis, PhD, Executive Vice President, The James Beard Foundation
