Description

A restaurant critic can inform you concerning the chef. A menu can inform you concerning the farm-sourced ingredients. Now who is going to inform you concerning the people preparing your meal?

From James Beard Leadership Award winner Saru Jayaraman, Forked is an enlightening examination of what we do not talk about when we talk about restaurants: Is the line cook working through a case of stomach flu because he doesn’t receives a commission unwell days? Is the busser not being promoted because he speaks with an accent? Is the server tolerating sexual harassment because tips are her only source of revenue?

As most corporate restaurants continue to set low standards for worker wages and benefits, a new class of chefs and restaurateurs is working to foster sustainability of their food and their employees. Forked offers an insider’s view of the highest–and lowest–scoring restaurants for worker pay and benefits in every sector of the restaurant industry, and with it, a new state of mind about how and where we eat.
