The French Revolution in 1789 had a major impact on French society, as it meant the end of an era of absolute monarchy. Old ideas of hierarchy and power were replaced by new ones, including the emergence of the bourgeoisie. Of course, these social changed left its trails in the culinary world. As is shown in this episode, Paris was the birthplace of the first restaurants where the Nouveaux Riches wined and dined.

This is an excellent episode — I learned so much about the history of the evolution of gastronomy and cooking. Thanks for uploading.
In Biden's 2021' we are now a sick society, as most of our restaurants closing.
This is a history we Don't learn about. Totally awesome subject. Very fascinating.
Love love love…..
Absolutely excellent doc … there’s surprisingly little on YouTube which covers such range and in interesting detail ( title is slightly misleading as it covers a very wide range of history)

Thanks!

“Oh Sir! The food ALONE is worth the trip!”
Great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.
Good doc well done. And i will look for more French history based docs. i am a huge fan of Timeline
After 5:10 you could clearly see that any defiantly did not like the dish she blinked 5 times and tried to force it down more poor Francesca!!
Good or bad, soldier or senator, housewife or homeless, elder or child, BC or AD. Everyone wants a good meal
This was informative and fun, thank you
I'm sure the cheese's delicacy status came from the fact that the nobles started having meals to 'eat like the poor'.
Very soon we will enjoy foods made out of insects and worms, according to the predictions of our global leaders 🤗
This was a wellspring of tidbits of knowledge to questions I didn’t even know I had! Well done. Thank you!
Thank you.
Great content but kind of poor quality video.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say there are a lot of over indulged people sitting at table in this documentary.
Brilliant video, thank you for sharing this…..
McDonald’s is so under appreciated !
