Sumudu Perera is 10% done with Grinding It Out: The Making of McDonald's

Interesting time capsule history of Ray Kroc’s era! Particularly interesting when hearing Kroc’s recollection of entering a music parlour in the 1920s and calling it gaudy looking like the fashion of the 90s (only for me to later realise he meant the 1890s!!)

Really interesting also hearing about nuances of that era, eg the Florida land boom and bust and the pre Depression era events
