American Eats: History on a Bun
“From pizza to the hoagie (or grinder or hero) some of the most
characteristically American foods have their origins abroad. But others are
strictly homegrown, the product of fads, trends or good, old-fashioned screw-ups
that turn out well in the end (the chocolate chip cookie is one such delicious
mistake). By going into some of the world?s most famous kitchens and talking
with people like the inventor of the Big Mac, a San Francisco Chinatown food
guide and the founder of Pizza Hut, the delectable story of AMERICAN EATS comes
alive.” (History Channel)
You are to chose one of the food items covered in the movie and write a paragraph in defense of why this particular food should be named THE Americanized Food, get a national holiday, its own stamp and commemorative coin. It is a mini essay, one paragraph and due _____________________.
