In Houston, bagels are sold by Ghulam Bombaywala. Pizza is served by Demetrios in Connecticut. Tacos are served by the Wangs in Los Angeles. We Are What We Eat tells the tale of how ethnicity has impacted American food behaviors and, in turn, the composition and development of the American cultural majority. It is a complicated story of cultural blending and borrowing, business acumen, and gastronomic expertise, as well as the use of food as a political and social symbol and tool. It is also a highly entertaining chronicle of our mixed culinary heritage.
