Kevin Alexander

the American culinary revolution and its end

Over the course of a decade, Kevin Alexander saw American dining turned on its head. Starting in 2006, the food world underwent a transformation as the established gatekeepers of 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 the country. It seemed, for a moment, like a glorious belle epoque of eating and drinking in America. And then it was over. Alexander journeys through the travails and triumphs of a number of key chefs and influential figures, as well as restaurants and neighborhoods whose fortunes were made during this veritable gold rush. In Burn the Ice, he reveals a distinctly American story, at once timeless and cutting-edge, about unbridled creativity and ravenous ambition
