How America Gathers
The rituals of flavor across America.
Every gathering in this country has a table at the center of it, and every table has a story. This is where we keep them — season by season, region by region, dish by dish. The fires of summer. The Sunday couch. The Thursday in November. The long December night. Different occasions, different flags on the wall — the same instinct, every time: cook for the people you love, and make too much.

Every table tells the story of the people around it.
