What is Fusion food?
What is Fusion food to you?
I want your opinions... would you consider a restaurant that serves Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken, Brazilian Churrasco, Basic Salads and Smoothies a Fusion Restaurant?
Would it be misleading?
This is not a sit down restaurant, it is comparable to Chipotle where it is a small menu and quick service with optional sit down.
THANK YOU
Answers: Fusion food is the combination of flavors, ingredients, cooking techniques and methods from 2 very different cuisines.
For example: Asian & Cuban (Asia de Cuba restaurants).
French & Thai (Vong's)
Masters of fusion:

Your restaurant is more of a South American Grill:
not a bad idea, combining grilling concepts from various South Am countries (Peru, Argentina, Brazil, Chile....). For food to be fusion each dish has to be a mixture of two different cuisines, not just a lot of different dishes from different places. Fusion cooking is combhing at least 2 different flavors/textures/cooking techniques from at least 2 (or more) very different kinds of cuisine.
For example, I often times make south western spring roles. Spring rolls (thai or vietnamese) that are filled with things that they generally do not have in those countries such as potatoes, jack cheese, chipotle chiles etc. Thus the south western element on the inside.
Also I make Korean tacos (Mexican) that are filled with Korean bbq beef and kim chee (not known of in Meixco).
I hope this helps Fusion food is when u mix 2 or more different kind of food from let say East & west...
E.g: Sambal (Asia) + pasta(Europe) = A fusion dish Friend here you go
Fusion food: a style of cooking which is becoming increasingly popular the world over but it seems, also increasingly controversial. Some people seem to think that ingredients from different world cuisines should never meet on the same plate. The term "fusion" originated in the U.S., as did the earlier term "Pacific Rim". (In case of confusion, in more ways than one, Modern European and Pacific Rim cuisines are one and the same thing - Fusion is a term that simply implies the fusion of several cuisines in one dish. While Pacific Rim cooking may conjure up images of palm trees and warm waters, many chefs in different corners of the world are busy scouring North Africa for couscous, the Mediterranean for olives and Thailand for galangal and lemon grass - ingredients not normally associated with the Pacific.
