Inhaltsangabe

In this debut memoir, a James Beard Award–winning writer, whose childhood idea of fine dining was Howard Johnson’s, tells how he became one of Paris’s most influential food critics  
My Place at the Table is the story of how a timid Connecticut boy grew up to be a bon vivant and the dining critic of the largest newspaper in the French-speaking world. It is also a touching and funny coming-of-age story about the healing role of food.
Until Alec Lobrano landed a job in the glamorous Paris office of Women’s Wear Daily, his main experience of French cuisine had been the occasional supermarket éclair. An interview with the owner of France’s best cheese shop for his first article nearly proves a disaster because he speaks almost no French. As he slowly rises to become the taste arbiter of the world’s best food city, Lobrano describes the lessons learned from leading culinary figures, the dining revolution caused by the birth of the modern bistro, his favorite and least favorite restaurants and most memorable meals, what it’s like to write for the French, and why our show-off culture is bad for food.
