Real fusion food vs Social Media fusion food. What’s the difference?
True fusion food celebrates cultures in a way that can tell you a story. For example, a lot of the food at Detroit 75 is a fusion of my Lebanese roots and the Mexican influences of Southwest Detroit. The goal is always to respect the traditional flavors and ingredients of both cultures.
Social media’s version of fusion food isn’t meant to do that. Random ingredients smashed together without any thought or consideration is not real food.
Respecting cultures is important, and fusion food can be a great way to do that.
