1941

Raymond Sokolov (born 1 August 1941) is a U.S. journalist who has written extensively about food.

1952

Sokolov grew up in the U.S. city of Detroit, and, while still in elementary school, finished 26th then 2nd in consecutive years in the National Spelling Bee in 1952 and 1953.

1959

He attended secondary school at Cranbrook, in suburban Detroit (Bloomfield Hills), whence he graduated in 1959.

After graduating from Harvard College summa cum laude in classics, and spending a year as a Fulbright Scholar at Wadham College, Oxford, Sokolov spent two years back at Harvard pursuing a doctorate in classics.

J. Liebling, Wayward Reporter (1980).

His long-running column "A Matter of Taste," on the Americas' foodways for the American Museum of Natural History's Natural History injected some researched facts and logical deduction into the highly fanciful traditional histories of cooking and helped lead to the revival of interest in American regional specialties.
