ACQUIRED TASTE: INVENTION OF THE RESTAURANT IN 19thC PARIS
Life without restaurants is hard to imagine. In fact, the first such establishments, in France, were for the fastidious who shunned eating and required a restorative broth or “restaurant”. It was for such delicate stomachs that the Palais Royal offered dining rooms with separate tables, menus, fixed prices and flexible hours. After the Revolution, the unemployed cooks and maîtres d’ of the aristocracy finally began introducing the paying public to their cuisine. Presented by Sylvia Sagona.
