How Baby Boomers Transformed American Cuisine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a food history enthusiast, I find it fascinating to reflect on how attitudes about food- not to mention favorite dishes- changed over time.

Just think of this example: a normal office worker’s lunch today- say, a burr
