Alan Warde on the sociology of dining out

Sociologist of food, Alan Warde is the author of Eating Out (Cambridge University Press, 2000), and more recently The Practice of Eating (Polity Books, 2016). We discuss how Alan's work ""deals both with abstract issues about theories of practice and substantive analyses of aspects of eating, demonstrating how theories of practice can be elaborated and systematically applied to the activity of eating.
