This important cultural analysis tells two stories about food. The
first depicts good food as democratic. Foodies frequent 'hole in
the wall' ethnic eateries, appreciate the pie found in
working-class truck stops, and reject the snobbery of fancy French
restaurants with formal table service. The second story describes
how food operates as a source of status and distinction for
economic and cultural elites, indirectly maintaining and
reproducing social inequality. While the first storyline insists
that anybody can be a foodie, the second asks foodies to look in
the mirror and think about their relative social and economic
privilege. By simultaneously considering both of these stories, and
studying how they operate in tension, a delicious sociology of food
becomes available, perfect for teaching a broad range of cultural
sociology courses.
