FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Newswire.net- January 14, 2013) Chapel Hill, NC- What is it about our burning desire to bastardize the most amazing culinary flavors of the world? Perhaps the “melting pot” of America has melted down every morsel of delicious food into mush and combined everything together to the point of non- recognition! This truly is the American way. The fast life style of getting in the fast lane and never slowing down.
It is this that causes our fascination with economizing time at the expense of authenticity, flavor, and just plain great ethnic food. Mexican food is probably more misunderstood than most ethnic cuisines that we have in the United States. With Texas and Arizona bordering the Mexican demarcation line, it is no wonder how Tex-Mex became such a cuisine brand unto itself.
If one has ever travelled to Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Chihuahua, and other cities and towns other than Tijuana or Cancun, one’s culinary vision would open up and see dishes and food that might be more European than what one might expect from a Mexican restaurant. The American branding has more to do with rolling out food quickly and adhering to the stereotypical associations rather than authenticity and genuine ingredients.
With the reality television dominating our media coverage, culinary and cooking shows are developing all over the world whether they be the Food Network or the Travel Channel, however most significant to this broadcasting is the showcasing of real and creative cooking from those that embrace the various nuances of delicious cuisine. Mexican cooking is one of the great flavors utilizing natural and fragrant herbs, spices, and vegetation. It is this aspect of the different types of Mexican cooking that makes it exciting and fun to experience. Different parts of Mexico, like many other countries with vast geographic terrain and weather, have evolved unique cooking techniques and ingredients. With some coastal shores capitalizing on the seafood that is indigenously local while inland areas have their own local favorite meats and vegetables, there is quite a disparity that can be found at the Mexican dining room table.
As this trend continues towards higher education of authentic and traditional “family” foods and methods of preparation, will come the Mexican restaurants making this transition that will appeal to this audience of enthusiasts of gastronomic experience.
