Opis

Every weekend, bleary-eyed diners wait in line to be served overpriced food by hungover waitstaff. What does the popularity of brunch say about shifting attitudes towards social status, leisure time, and consumption? Drawing on theories from Veblen to Florida and his own journey from the rust belt to a cosmopolitan city, Micallef explores how notions of class have changed. The Trouble with Brunch begins with an exploration of brunch and moves on to other urrent lifestyle trappings (travel, health care trends). But Micallef doesn't end his look at food there. He also investigates food as identity and looks at the political divisions between things like Starbucks and Tim Hortons. The book also includes a more in-depth history of class and how class has been perceived, including documentation of Micallef's own awakening to class during his personal journey from Windsor to Toronto. Shawn Micallef is the author of Stroll and the co-editor of Spacing magazine. He was a 2011--12 Massey Fellow.
