By the time Covid is done, will the days of the Foodie have gone to the dogs?

For the past thirty years, Paul Freedman and I have followed the origins, growth, and proliferation of American food culture. Paul is a Medievalist, and has written one of my favorite food books of all time, along with a recent best-seller. He is arguably America’s foremost expert on restaurants. I have worked on a different track, more focussed on food politics and food insecurity.
