Summary:
Chandler explores the inseparable link between fast food and American life for the past century. He finds that, in unexpected ways, fast food is deeply personal and emblematic of a larger than life image of America. Tracing the industry from its roots in Wichita, where White Castle became the first fast food chain in 1921 and successfully branded the hamburger as the official all-American meal, Chandler tells of humble beginnings, innovations and failures, international charisma, and regional identities-- a contemporary history of America through its beloved roadside fare. -- adapted from jacket
