The Price of Asian Food

We see an increase of non-Asian folks exploring and popularizing Asian cuisine into mainstream America. Chefs also seek to expand the traditional boundaries of Asian cuisine by elevating dishes using more luxurious ingredients and different cooking methods. Some welcomed this development while others see it with disdain. We discuss the benefits and pitfalls of expensive Asian food.
