Adam Platt - The Book of Eating: Adventures in Professional Gluttony — in conversation with Corby Kummer

Contributing editor and restaurant critic for New York magazine since 2000, Platt won the James Beard Foundation Journalism Award for Restaurant Reviews in 2010 and has been a major voice in food writing for some twenty-five years. As he recounts in his funny, personable memoir, his love of different cuisines—along with an appetite for travel—began early; as the child of a diplomat, he grew up on the dishes of Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, and later sampled the cuisines of many other countries. Rich in travel tales, his book also features anecdotes that convey the realities and foibles of life as a restaurant critic. Platt will be in conversation with Corby Kummer, senior editor and food columnist for The Atlantic.
