I picked up this book at a book swap last week. It is an account of how
the US went from meat and potatoes to where we are today. The author
tracks the careers of the Holy Trinity of Foodies (James Beard, Craig
Claiborne, and Julia Child) from 1939 on, and intersperses various other
characters along the way. I just finished the chapter on Chez Panisse
and its various alumni, and am about to read the "Righteous and Crunchy"
chapter, which features "Diet for a Small Planet" and the Moosewood
(from my beloved Ithaca).

Arugula is an epithet in our household. When something is too yuppie or
pretentious, one of us will say, "That is just TOO arugula."
