This moment in food history rewards attention to the most nondescript joint in the strip mall, if only for the possibility of discovering some unsung maestro cooking a sublime Szechuan chili chicken or fried dried fish. Ask Tyler Cowen about this and other aspects of the contemporary human forage and he’ll offer a considered opinion: “It’s a great time to be living and eating.”
An economist by profession and restaurant maven by avocation, Cowen comes to the Baltimore Convention Center this week for the annual conference of the International Association of Culinary Professionals. His conference keynote address scheduled tomorrow morning focuses on globalization, one of several phenomena heard in the Tower of Babel that is Foodland USA, 2004.
