New American
Fusion restaurant style
New American describes a style of cooking that emerged in the late twentieth century, blending traditional American ingredients and techniques with influences from immigrant cuisines and global flavors.
The approach emphasizes fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients while freely borrowing from Asian, Latin American, Mediterranean, and other traditions: The restaurant's New American menu featured miso-glazed pork belly with collard greens.
The term also describes recent immigrants to the United States.
