Trying to Define American Cuisine

American Food: The World’s Culinary Melting Pot
While teaching at a large culinary academy, I remember a new course to teach American cooking being introduced, and the school trying to come up with a class title that was appropriate. There were some chefs that believed it should be called “American Cuisine,” while others thought “American Foods” would be more fitting since they didn’t believe America had it’s own cuisine. By the way, “Foods of the Americas” was the final decision.
The debate really centers around what exactly is a “cuisine?” Using the traditional definition of cuisine, there really is no way to precisely describe what Americans eat. It’s like asking someone, “what does American music sound like?” or “what does American art look like?” Of course, there are no answers for these questions since our nation is such a complex cultural, well, melting pot. There’s a reason that description of our country is so perfect.
So is it a bad thing to have such an incredibly diverse culinary tradition that it defies description? Doesn’t that make “American Food” the world’s greatest “cuisine” yet. Or is this all just culinary semantics. I don’t think anyone biting into a slice of New York pizza, or licking barbecue sauce from their fingers, or dipping a perfectly fresh California roll into a small bowl of soy sauce, really cares all that much. to precisely describe what Americans eat.

Clarkâs neighbor Angeles City provides nightlife and bars for entertainment. However, most guests prefer to stay inside Clark Freeport for safety and security reasons. It is a popular way for Manila residents to spend their weekends with a getaway trip out of town to wine and dine in Clark.
Traffic along the North Expressway NLEX from Manila to Clark is always light and the new Subic Tarlac Clark Expressway ScTex takes visitors straight into Clark Freeport without going through any towns and cities along the way.
The growing array of hotel resort accommodation, recreation and entertainment facilities, places to unwind and relax, fine dining and family restaurants, bars and pubs makes it increasing easy for tourists and visitors from Manila to spend quality time in a place of leisure in Clark, Pampanga.
While in Clark, it might be a good idea to enjoy an evening of wine-and-dine in the fine dining Yats Restaurant and Wine Bar that features an award winning 2700-line wine list. It is located in Mimosa Leisure Estate of Clark Freeport Zone.
