How did Adam Platt, restaurant critic for New York magazine, land “the best job in the 20th century”: a professional glutton?
Join Platt as he discusses his new memoir The Book of Eating and recounts a life of globetrotting and his adventures in professional gluttony in a conversation with Ambassador Nicholas Platt, president emeritus of Asia Society. This wide-ranging chat between a father and son will offer an intimate and riveting look at Adam Platt’s upbringing, his 20-plus years in the culinary world, his countless dining experiences across Asia, and more.
The program will be followed by a book signing.
