Interview with Award Winning Author, Stephen Fried on the Impact of Fred Harvey on American Food

In this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, talks to Stephen Fried about his book, “Appetite for America: How Visionary Businessman Fred Harvey Built a Railroad Hospitality Empire That Civilized the Wild West.” In this book, Stephen Fried talks about Fred Harvey, an Englishman who, in 1876, came to the US with literally nothing in his pocket. Harvey ended up building up America’s first brand of dining rooms, created Harvey Hotels, and popularized the Harvey Girls, a well-dressed and well-informed group of servers that ensured guests dined well and be on their trains in 30 minutes. Harvey was one of the most famous people in the US and yet, now, people seem to have forgotten him and his restaurants and hotels. Stephen Fried attempts to alter that with this terrific book.
