Food expert and celebrated food historian Andrew F. Smith recounts--in delicious detail--the creation of contemporary American cuisine. The diet of the modern American wasn't always as corporate, conglomerated, and corn-rich as it is today, and the style of American cooking, along with the ingredients that compose it, has never been fixed. With a cast of characters including bold inventors, savvy restaurateurs, ruthless advertisers, mad scientists, adventurous entrepreneurs, celebrity chefs, and relentless health nuts, Smith pins down the truly crackerjack history behind the way America eats. Smith's story opens with early America, an agriculturally independent nation where most citizens grew and consumed their own food. Over the next two hundred years, however, Americans would cultivate an entirely different approach to crops and consumption. Advances in food processing, transportation, regulation, nutrition, and science introduced highly complex and mechanized methods of production. The proliferation of cookbooks, cooking shows, and professionally designed kitchens made meals more commercially, politically, and culturally potent. To better understand these trends, Smith delves deeply and humorously into their creation. Ultimately he shows how, by revisiting this history, we can reclaim the independent, locally sustainable roots of American food.Binding Type: Paperback

Dixie Is Good But
Size: 150 Count (Pack of 1)
Dixie paper plates are good but these are better! The durability of them is just as good as Dixie. The leak-proofness is just as good as Dixie. The 10 inch size makes them versatile for everyday use. The main reason why they are better than Dixie is because they’re a lot cheaper and you get double the amount for less $$

Great quality. Don’t think it twice and buy!
Size: 100 Count
When I bought this plates I was not so sure of the quality of the material however, they exceeded my expectations. They are thick and durable. The design and color were perfect and matched with my decoration. The amount of plates for the value was a great deal and I will definitely buy them again and again. Trust me when I say I don’t like most of the disposable paper plates out there and this make a huge difference with how good quality they are and how inexpensive they’re.

Strong Enough for Everyday Use, No Surprises
Size: 150 Count (Pack of 1)
These are exactly what you want from everyday disposable plates.
They’re sturdy enough to handle normal meals without bending or soaking through, even with heavier or messier foods. I’ve used them for things like pasta and leftovers, and they held up better than expected for a budget option.
The 10-inch size is a good middle ground, big enough for full meals but not oversized. They also hold up fine in the microwave without getting too soft.
They’re still paper plates at the end of the day, so if you’re loading them up with really heavy or greasy food, you might want to double up just to be safe.
Overall, these are a reliable, no-frills option that works well for daily use, gatherings, or quick cleanup situations.
