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 entrées go viral, dining out has become theater, plating has become art and ubiquitous 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 tableAuthor: Brian Duff,author Contributors: Brian Duff,author Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 184 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 29 May 2025 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Author/Director/Artist: Duff Dimension (cm): 165x121x13 mm Package Dimension (cm): 16x163x122 mm Item Weight (g): 454 Package Weight (g): 176
