Distinctly American Food

Food becomes American when it is made on American soil. When a person comes here to begin a new life and creates his first dish to remind him of home, he is in fact claiming this as his home. He is saying he will not cease to be who he is, but instead, he will add this as well. This is America, we thrive on dualities. Food becomes American when it is added to our cultural landscape by even one single person, because every person counts.
