  • Aspirational Eating: Class Anxiety and the Rise of Food in Popular Culture
    ASPIRATIONAL EATING: CLASS ANXIETY AND THE RISE OF FOOD IN POPULAR CULTURE by Stephanie Mariko Finn A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (American Culture) in The University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Paul A. Anderson, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Penny M. Von Eschen Professor Warren Belasco, University of Maryland-Baltimore County Shaka Freeman, “#4,” Michael Pollan or Michel Foucault? © S. M. Finn 2011 To my parents ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I owe a large debt of gratitude to all of the people who supported me in the writing of this dissertation. Paul Anderson first suggested to me that rather than leaving graduate school with the vague hope of becoming a sommelier, perhaps I should write a dissertation about the significance of wine in U.S. popular culture. His support for the project that grew out of that inquiry and my development as a scholar has far exceeded the obligations of an advisor or committee chair. Warren Belasco provided generous, thoughtful, extensive feedback on chapter drafts and conference presentations, as well as many kind words of encouragement along the way. Susan Douglas and Penny Von Eschen helped shape my thinking from the very beginning of my graduate coursework and have also given generously of their time and expertise. I hope this project does some credit to their collective efforts and brilliance. Marlene Moore provided invaluable assistance in navigating the institutional pathways of the Ph.D. process. In addition to her expertise and tireless work on behalf of all graduate students in American Culture, her deep compassion humanized what might have otherwise been a formidable bureaucratic gauntlet.

  • The Right Recipe for a White House State Dinner by Feifei Sun Wednesday, Jan
    The Right Recipe for a White House State Dinner By Feifei Sun Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2011 U.S. President Barack Obama speaks at a state dinner hosted by Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, right, in Jakarta, Nov. 9, 2010 Charles Dharapak / AP Former White House chef Walter Scheib compares pulling off a State Dinner to opening a Broadway show. "There are so many non-culinary components coming into play, from fashion to art to music to glamour," he says. And so, with China's President Hu Jintao in town, it's curtains up for the Obamas. On Wednesday night, President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle will host the Chinese delegation at the White House for a formal State Dinner, just the third such affair of Obama's presidency, and the first to take place entirely in the White House. Ulysses S. Grant was the first president to throw a State Dinner in 1874, when he hosted King David Kalakaua of the Hawaiian Islands. Since then, the gatherings have served as celebratory events in which state heads reaffirm diplomatic ties while enjoying dinner and entertainment. The formal festivities, which typically last about four hours, follow strict protocol and are the result of months of planning. "It's a tremendous team effort," says Scheib, who served Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush from 1994- 2005. "Each part has to come out with equal success for the dinner to happen seamlessly." Among the components that must be finalized are the evening's location, entertainment act, floral arrangements, guest list, seating chart, and perhaps the most important factor, the menu.
