Quando si pensa alle antiche civiltà del continente americano, come quella maya o azteca, si è soliti associarle a immagini di piramidi immerse nella foresta; difficilmente si pensa a come si nutrivano. Se in genere si fatica a riconoscere l’origine americana di molti cibi della nostra tavola, come patate, mais e pomodori, ancor più difficilmente si associano questi cibi alle loro originarie forme di preparazione e alle antiche culture alimentari di cui fecero parte.

Il manifesto fu scritto da Filippo Tommaso Marinetti con la promessa di un cambiamento totale della società, trasformazione che ne esaltasse il progresso e la velocità. I futuristi si sarebbero quindi espressi in maniera totale, dalle arti visive alla musica, organizzando serate futuriste e arrivando a influenzare il modo di vestire e di vivere, persino le abitudini alimentari di parte della popolazione.

Perché gli Italiani mangiano la pasta al dente? La "tempura" è davvero un'invenzione giapponese? Perché la pizza ha conquistato il mondo? E perché il sushi ha conquistato noi?

Tradizioni gastronomiche, modi di cuocere il cibo, maniere di comportarsi a tavola, passioni, repulsioni, valori estetici, tipicità, territori, sono altrettanti specchi del rapporto che gli uomini hanno con se stessi.

Over the past decade, Kevin Alexander saw American dining turned on its head. Starting in 2006, the food world underwent a transformation as the established gatekeepers of American culinary creativity in New York City and the Bay Area were forced to contend with Portland, Oregon.
