美国美食原来不只是汉堡和披萨！

今天带你来认识和了解美国的食物，主要是休斯顿的美食噢！

Food plays a huge role in each culture.

Before I came here, my only picture of American food is those scenes in the American TV showing that the characters are eating hamburgers and pizza in the fast food restaurants. So Do the Americans really eat pizza and burgers every day?

Ryan: Because they are the easiest one to get, that's why they are popular in America but we got a lot of options for food.

What's the history of American food? Why we have so many choices?

Ryan: when the settlers came, around 500 years ago, the native American taught these settlers how to grow and harvest corns and potatoes. That's why they become the main sources of American food.

Houston is an extremely diverse city and we have a large population of people from China, from Korean, from different countries.

What are the food branches that Houston has? We have Mediterranean food, Greek, Scottish, Indian restaurants, any type of food branch you can find in Houston.

Tacos: Corn Tortilla, some types of meat, beans, rice, lettuce, tomato, sour cream. That's how Texan thinks about Tacos.

What food dominates the Houston right now?

Except for Tacos and the long-sided pizza, the hot dog becomes very popular in New York and the Houstonian wants to make it best we can do so we put everything that probably won't make it taste good on it (different sources... etc)

Any local restaurants to recommend?

Saigon House: a Vietnamese restaurant and Ryan highly recommended its PHO which is Vietnamese noodles. His favorite one is Pho Filet Mignon. Banh Mi which is made by Vietnamese bread and rice platter are two big delicious meals that everyone should try

La Fendee: a Mediterranean restaurant and they have a hookah lounge which is really cool. Hookah is an oriental tobacco pipe with a long, flexible tube that draws the smoke through water contained in a bowl. Well received by American people

Whataburger: a burger restaurant!! His favorite meal is sweet and spicy bacon burger
