James Beard Award-winning food journalist Alexander traces an exhilarating golden age in American dining. Starting in 2006, the food world underwent a transformation as the established gatekeepers of American culinary creativity in New York City and the Bay Area were forced to contend with Portland, Oregon. Its new, no-holds-barred, casual fine-dining style became a template for other cities, and a culinary revolution swept across America. Entire neighborhoods, like Williamsburg in Brooklyn, and cities like Austin, were suddenly becoming shorthand for the so-called hipster movement.
