Manage episode 424766320 series 8079
“The dominant vocabulary for talking about restaurants is ‘what food do they serve,
what are the good dishes?’ People think that’s the only thing that’s important about restaurants.”
Today on the show we talk with Historian Rebecca Spang, about the origins of restaurants, and what they mean to us today.
“The experience just of knowing that there are other people and knowing that they have their own lives, they’re talking about their own things, but that you’re not completely alone.”
Exploring the experience of dining out-- in this episode of Earth Eats.
