A friend shared this video with me from the BigThink YouTube channel. I think it is the beginning of a very curious discussion about what could be an American cuisine. Every other nation and/or congruous culture has had many hundreds, even thousands of years to develop a cuisine that was heavily driven by environmental factors. America has existed for slightly over two hundred years. In this video, Dan Barber starts to get into the idea that the lack of similar environmental pressures in a temperate, bountiful land has created a food culture of excess but no creativity.
