The World on a Plate is the story of how immigrant families have changed and influenced our food and created a uniquely American culinary pastiche. Joel Denker, a longtime food and travel writer and scholar of American folklore, conducted interviews with a range of ethnic-food merchants in crafting a history of our colorful food makers — the grocers, vendors, manufacturers, importers, restaurateurs — and the products they have given us.
