Short description:

Former restaurant critic Brian Duff examines the restaurant at a critical moment and argues that engaging and creating shared meaning with others across the table offers a path toward the renewal of waning social and democratic capacities.

Long description:

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.

In the last few decades, restaurants and food culture have achieved extraordinary cultural presence. Chefs are heroes and thought leaders, well-executed entrï¿1⁄2es go viral, dining out has become theater, plating has become art and ubiquitous Instagram content. But in recent years restaurants have faced crisis upon crisis.

Restaurant takes a deep dive into the drives, desires, and anxieties we bring to dining out at this time of uncertainty. It explores the meaning we find in good food and warm hospitality. It shows why the restaurant offers unique opportunities to change the quality of our engagement with others and to create shared meaning across the table
