Abstract
This paper examines the impact of globalization and food tourism on gastronomic trends in the United States through an analysis of secondary sources. The study explores how exposure to international cuisines through travel and globalization influences American consumer behavior, culinary practices, and restaurant offerings. Research supports that global food tourism stimulates diverse cuisine expansion as well as elevates American interest in authentic dishes along with boosting cultural diversity in American food. In terms of this analysis, foodie is defined as “a person having an avid interest in the latest food fads”. (Definition of Foodie, 2018).
