American cuisine has origins from around the world and is always evolving. Many classic American foods were invented by immigrants or have roots in other cultures. Over the past century, American food has reflected changes in technology, tastes, and the diverse cultures that make up America. While issues around health, sustainability, and food access will influence its future, American cuisine remains defined by its blending of global influences.
