This paper looks to define and explore three books which are a crux to various food histories which in the last decade has become a scholarly journey as food history is becoming increasingly studied as a scholarly endeavor by historians where previously it was not seen in such a scholarly light. The three texts which are going to be examined are: Planet Taco: A Global History of Mexican Food by Jeffery M. Pilcher, The Invention of the Restaurant: Paris and Modern Gastronomic Culture by Rebecca L. Spang, and lastly To Live and Dine in Dixie: The Evolution of Urban Food Culture in the Jim Crow South by Angela Jill Cooley. Each of these books seek to redefine how people see their perspective topics whether it be Mexican identity rooted in cuisine, the evolution of southern food in a racially divided south, or even the concept of the restaurant emerging from a revolutionary culture. These texts bring awareness to various topics which have both social, cultural, and economic stigmas associated with them.
In an article written by Amy S. Choi entitled, “What Americans can Learn From Other Food Cultures,” Choi discusses food in ways that pertain to ones culture. Today, our younger generation has become less thankful for simple, traditional foods and more wanting of foods prepared in less traditional ways, almost as if, “the more outlandish the better.” Choi mentioned in her article that, “those slightly younger have been the beneficiaries of the restaurant culture exploding in Shanghai” (Choi, Amy. “What Americans Can Learn From Other Food Cultures.” Ideastedcom. 18 Dec. 2014. Web. 17 June 2015) being from America I agree with her statement. Food in many cultures has become a status symbol; I believe that dining in expensive restaurants that serve
The product is Italian food served buffet style, in an all-you-can-eat format, with a salad bar, pizza, several different types of pasta with three or four types of sauces, soup, desserts, and a self-serve soda bar. The restaurant is also

While examining a culture, most people would typically think of the language, religion, style of dress, and customs of that particular group, but some people fail to realize the importance of that culture’s food. During the late 1800s and early-mid 1900s, many various ethnic and cultural groups immigrated to the United States and brought with them their cuisine. In the novel Hungering for America: Italian, Irish, and Jewish Foodways in the Age of Migration by Hasia R. Diner, the ways of which American culture has shaped the food culture of immigrants in the US and how their foods influenced American cuisine. There were two prominent groups—Italians and Irish—that immigrated to the US that were either greatly influenced and/or influenced by
Tantalize your taste buds with their fresh meat and vegetable dishes, handmade dessert, and large selection of wines, which they are so well known for.
North of Manhattan, a good cup of coffee is hard to come by; the taste is lacking in strength and not much thought is put into its production. Profit-seeking coffee chains like Dunkin Donuts and Donut Delight are widespread and lack in quality. More often than not, coffee is a $3 afterthought of dessert, rather than a delicacy in itself. Lorca cafe, situated in downtown Stamford on Bedford Street, appreciates the artistry and skill that must be employed to brew a decent cup of coffee. Spanish and western-Mediterranean influences are uniform throughout the flavors and venue. The chic, modern atmosphere is equipped with ample power outlets to provide the perfect workplace for the productive
There is something about the stunning views of the Rocky Mountains and Spanish-Indian cowboy cuisine that make the West much more than just “where the deer and the antelope play” (Higley). The Western region has captured the heart of many Americans who cannot escape their appetites for wild west fare. Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado all make up this peaceful region known as the Rocky Mountain States (American Regional Cuisine 339) where countless people groups and traditions have contributed to what the region is today. Now, the West is home to many who daily reap the benefits of the region’s awe-inspiring topographies, diverse climate, and rich heritage that shape its culinary culture.
Yet the census data does not do justice in many ways to the truly diverse nature of the community, as its residents claim ancestry “from all across Latin America and also from places as far flung as the Philippines, India, Korea, Cambodia, Somalia, Romania and Pakistan.”(Watters, 2013) Its businesses along Lawrence Avenue encapsulate the hustle of bustle of the neighborhood as residents and sojourners enjoy the plethora of ethnically diverse markets, groceries, and restaurants. Looming just behind the mostly “mom-and-pop” shop atmosphere of locally owned retailers however are the symbols which make any of America’s varied neighborhoods seem nearly ubiquitous: the golden arches and green and white coffee dispensers which make sure the local traveler remembers that primacy within American neoliberal society is capital, and that brand names such as McDonalds and Starbucks are here to stay, popping out and interspersed along the road like weeds within the
Many people are surprised when I say that I am a local Austinite. Born and raised here for 18 years, I frequently get asked the question, “Don’t you get bored of Austin? Why are you at UT?” While there are definitely low days when my heart just itches for adventure seeing my fellow Austin graduates’ pictures with the Hollywood sign in California or the Rockies in Colorado, I have come to realize Austin has so much to offer right within the city. In fact, one of the prominent reasons why I chose UT was because it is situated in the city I call my home and have so much solidarity with. One such aspect is the unique “foodie” culture. With some of the trendiest locations on the culinary map for adventurous fans of culinary dining, Sugar Mama’s
Amanda Watson Schnetzer, a researcher at the American Enterprise Institute, identifies a deep description of the concept in “The Golden Age of Cooking” by stating “Americans today… have never been more obsessed with food, glorious food. At no other time has America enjoyed as many restaurants, touted as many celebrity chefs, published as many cook books and magazines…” (). The list continues as Schnetzer list everything food related that American is crazy for. She also analyzes the meaning of the “new American cuisine” (Schnetzer). This cuisine has been around since colonial days and changes often. There is not a set menu to American food. If a person goes to two different restaurants that both claim to serve American cuisine, they might get two completely different menus. Even though this cuisine is considered American, it pulls elements from cultures all over the world the same way everything in American culture does. This is the true melting pot of
Mongols BBQ is a restaurant that provides Oriental cuisine in Los Angeles, California. The restaurant provided a limited buffet style menu during the lunch and dinner hours of the day. Located near the University of Los Angeles Campus, the restaurant appeals to many young adults, often students, and all the businesses and theater in the district of Westwood. Mongols BBQ is a very successful business and there are many factors in the way they operate the business that contribute greatly to their success. The restaurant industry in the US tends to be among the costliest markets to operate in but the owners of Mongols managed to leverage their experience in the industry and their cultural influence to run a restaurant below the industry average (see Appendix 2).
Food culture in the United States is consistently changing and accumulating new traditions all the time. It is quite challenging to define American food with its own single dish, since America is pretty much the melting pot of various cultures. In New York State, but more specifically New York City is a place where people can explore the diversity of food and its cultures from all over the world.
