Experts believe that there are more tha n 8 millio n restaura nts in the world today. So it might surprise you to lear n that restaura nts, as we know them, have only existed for a few cen turies. Before 1765, there were no restaura nts. That is, there were no places that provided the restaura nt experie nee. There was no where in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked from a menu. In fact, there were no menus any where.

There were eati ng places travellers could go to cen turies before that. The coun tryside was full of inns that would serve food. And there were taver ns where one could get drin ks. The rich could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks. But none of them could be called a “ restaura nt ” .

A man called Boula nger cha nged that. In 1765, he ope ned a place in Paris that sold soups （汤）.On his sig n he used the word “ restaura nt

time, people bega n to use the word “ restaura nt ” to refer to a place selli ng soup ra

the soup itself. More “ restaurants ” opened in France, and people began to buy soup

ofte n.

Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s, menus started to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the world. The Un ited States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular throughout China. Paris created beautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the Fren ch, and the restaura nt idea spread throughout the British Empire.

Today cities are filled with all types of restaurants. Diners have millions of options from which to choose.

Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808. He studied engineering and drawing. During his studies, Meucci started to experime nt with electricity. 47 When two

places were conn ected with wire, people in those places could hear each other talk.

In 1850, Meucci and his wife, Ester, moved to New York. Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill. 48 To solve this problem, he conn ected

metal cables between his home and his workshop. This way, they could talk to each other convenien tly.

Meucci invited a group of people to see his new invention. They listened in amazeme nt as the voice of a sin ger was heard through the wires.

49 Even worse, Meucci n ever applied for a pate nt （ 专禾 U） on his inven ti on. Mean while, Alexa nder Graham Bell was work ing on the same idea and in 1876 the pate nt for the telephone was given to him.

In 2002, more tha n a cen tury after Meucci
