«Une histoire de hamburger-frites» is the essay by Didier Pourquery, published by Robert Laffont in paperback (174 pages, in French).
It analyses the worldwide fascination with fast food through the hamburger-and-chips pairing, from Roland Barthes's «steak-frites» to the planetary expansion of McDonald's. The author asks why a regressive, transgressive and unhealthy food appeals, combining history, sociology, economics and nutrition with irony.
It is part of the «Nouvelles Mythologies» collection, under the direction of Mazarine Pingeot and Sophie Nordmann. It was published on 6 June 2019.
For readers interested in the sociology of food and fast-food culture.
