Culinary Historians of San Diego will present “The Cafeteria: Golden Darling to Dreary Dining,” featuring Charles Perry, at 10:30 am April 16, at the San Diego Central Library.
The cafeteria was invented in Los Angeles in 1905 and was quickly accepted as the epitome of modern, sophisticated dining. Many cafeterias had fine architecture and featured live music. Now, the words “cafeteria food” strike fear. Join our audience to find out why. A tasting will follow the presentation.
