Food Culture USA celebrated the extraordinary story of the American food revolution of the last 40 years. The program focused on three of its driving forces: the immigration that has introduced new foods and tastes to American cooking, the grassroots movement for sustainable agriculture and its connection with traditional methods of growing, and the role that chefs and cooks as tradition-bearers have played in encouraging appreciation for the great variety of American foodways.

Visitors learned about the artisan food trend that has revitalized older crafts to produce cheese, bread, olives, and chocolate. They saw how spices and herbs from around the world are cultivated, processed, and preserved. They heared about the challenges of finding new markets for traditional crops, and much more. Chefs, cooks, growers, and food lovers shared their traditional knowledge and spirit of innovation as they created meaning from sustenance.
