Ethnic Restaurants & Cooking in the United States
Source & Fusion
01/21/02

Large international communities have established a permanent cooking style in the USA. These traditional styles - Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Irish and Mexican - among other communities have introduced new ingredients, dishes, and cultural styles. The national cuisine of local restaurants and their recipes can be found within the cities of the USRG - such as the Best Chinese restaurants of Santa Cruz. Typical recipes of national origin are made in the homes of many Americans as readily as they are ordered out. Some restaurants feature their ethnic recipes in the guide and will be mentioned here when they do.

To find out about the international locations the USRG recommends, check offshore pages.

New restaurants beginning in the late 1980's and through the 1990's have evolved a Fusion style, where chefs merge various national dishes. For example - Oritalia in San Francisco.

However the source of these cooking styles - largely national and regional are classic definitions in any culinery practise. The USRG shows restaurants and recipes with the following national and regional sources:
