Shines a light on what it means to cook and eat American food, in all its infinitely nuanced and ever-evolving glory.”\u003cbr\u003e—Anthony Bourdain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmerican food is the story of mash-ups. Immigrants arrive, cultures collide, and out of the push-pull come exciting new dishes and flavors. But for Edward Lee, who, like Anthony Bourdain or Gabrielle Hamilton, is as much a writer as he is a chef, that first surprising bite is just the beginning. What about the people behind the food? What about the traditions, the innovations, the memories?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA natural-born storyteller, Lee decided to hit the road and spent two years uncovering fascinating narratives from every corner of the country. There’s a Cambodian couple in Lowell, Massachusetts, and their efforts to re-create the flavors of their lost country. A Uyghur café in New York’s Brighton Beach serves a noodle soup that seems so very familiar and yet so very exotic—one unexpected ingredient opens a window onto an entirely unique culture. A beignet from Café du Monde in New Orleans, as potent as Proust’s madeleine, inspires a narrative that tunnels through time, back to the first Creole cooks, then forward to a Korean rice-flour \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003ehoedduck\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and a beignet dusted with matcha.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSixteen adventures, sixteen vibrant new chapters in the great evolving story of American cuisine.
