   @CurtAdams @sarajw i think fusion has to be done really well. sometimes the direction of the fusion matters.

   for me panda express is so far out of 'authentic' that it is good on its own.

   there's a weird in-between that is 'meh i hate this' to 'pretty good'. often the nice restaurants run by people who aren't familiar with a cuisine tend to mess up the fusion, but at the same time, anyone who is deeply immersed in the cuisines no matter their own cultural background can do it pretty well.

   my fave fusion chinese place is a cantonese venezuelan restaurant where the cantonese menu is better than chinatown, and their fusion stuff is even better. empanadas! with black beans! and beef! and cheese!
