American Cuisine

When people think of American cuisine, they often imagine only hamburgers and French fries. But there’s much more—so much more.

America is a country shaped by immigrants from all over the world. Polish specialities, Italian influences, and of course a huge impact from South America. It makes American cuisine truly fascinating.
