The United States of Arugula: How We Became a Gourmet Nation by David Kamp
English | Sep. 12, 2006 | ISBN: 0767915798 | 416 Pages | EPUB | 3 MB

One day we woke up and realized that our “macaroni” had become “pasta,” that our Wonder Bread had been replaced by organic whole wheat, that sushi was fast food, and that our tomatoes were heirlooms. How did all this happen, and who made it happen? The United States of Arugula is the rollicking, revealing chronicle of how gourmet eating in America went from obscure to pervasive, thanks to the contributions of some outsized, opinionated iconoclasts who couldn’t abide the status quo.
