The borough depicted in Brooklyn, one of this year's Oscar contenders for Best Picture, is a nostalgic, blue-collar departure from today's posh condos flaunting shiny granite kitchens. While 21st-century Brooklyn remains proudly anchored to its deep ethnic roots, it is no longer defined by middle-class families savoring carefree afternoons on brownstone stoops or parish dances (leading, many immigrant women hoped, to a potential suitor). And food is one powerful way of chronicling Brooklyn's transformation.
