Grand Forks: A History of American Dining in 128 Reviews
ByPublisher Description
Once Upon A Time, Salad Was Iceberg Lettuce With A Few Shredded Carrots And A Cucumber Slice, If You Were Lucky. A Vegetable Side Was Potatoes -- Would You Like Those Baked, Mashed, Or Au Gratin? A Nice Anniversary Dinner? Would You Rather Visit The Holiday Inn Or The Regency Inn? In Grand Forks, North Dakota, A Small Town Where Professors Moonlight As Farmers, Farmers Moonlight As Football Coaches, And Everyone Loves Hockey, One Woman Has Had The Answers For More Than Twenty-five Years: Marilyn Hagerty. In Her Weekly Eatbeat Column In The Local Paper, Marilyn Gives The Denizens Of Grand Forks The Straight Scoop On Everything From The Best Blue Plate Specials -- Beef Stroganoff At The Pantry -- To The Choicest Truck Stops -- The Big Sioux (and Its Lutefisk Lunch Special) -- To The Ambience Of The Town's First Taco Bell. Her Verdict? A Cool Pastel Oasis On A Hot Day. No-nonsense But Wry, Earnest But Self-aware, Eatbeat Also Encourages The Best In Its Readers -- Reminding Them To Tip Well And Why -- And Serves As Its Own Kind Of Down-home Social Register, Peopled With Stories Of Ex-postal Workers Turned Café Owners And Prom Queen Waitresses. Filled With Reviews Of The Mom-and-pop Diners That Eventually Gave Way To Fast Food Joints, And The Norwegian Specialties That Finally Faded Away In The Face Of The Olive Garden's Endless Breadsticks, This Is A Loving Look At The Shifts In American Dining In The Last Years Of The Twentieth Century
