Burt Wolf: Travels and Traditions

Making of a Restaurant, Part 1 (17x1)

Air date: Mar 29, 2018

It's surprising to realize that just about everything that makes up a modern restaurant --- street floor access, a receptionist, seating, the wait staff, the kitchen in the back, and a written invoice --- was developed in Paris during a 50-year period starting in 1765. In this program, Burt travels around and looks at how these basic elements come together these days, when someone decides to open a restaurant.
