The American Story Told Through Asian Fusion Cuisines
Asian fusion cuisine in the US tells a unique story of cultural adaptation and immigration. From Kogi BBQ's Korean-Mexican tacos to Flor de Mayo's Chinese-Cuban dishes, these intercultural collaborations have evolved over time to become their own type of food. Vietnamese refugees in Louisiana created Viet-Cajun cuisine, while the chow mein sandwich was born in Fall River, Massachusetts. Each dish marks a distinct era in US immigration, and while some are fading, others are now taking off.
