Adam Chandler's engaging narrative takes readers on a fascinating journey through the history of America's fast-food industry, revealing the complexities and contradictions that lie beneath its familiar facade. From its humble beginnings in Wichita, where White Castle pioneered the concept of fast food in 1921, to the viral tweets and social media sensations of today, Chandler explores the intricate relationships between food, culture, and identity.
