Food is an art, a matter of expression. The way food appears on a plate, the freshness of the ingredients, the balance between sweet and savory convey the emotion and stories of the chefs who painstakingly assemble each plate of food for hungry diners. Through food, chefs share with diners their past, exuding their passion for staying true to their ethnic roots. Each restaurant aims to attract customers through a unique approach to a particular cuisine, whether it be introducing a new dish to the neighborhood that no other restaurant serves or recreating a dish from a particular culture. In an area like Queens, chefs come from different backgrounds, each with stories from their childhood that they hope to illustrate through food. This guide will highlight restaurants representing over 70 different cuisines in Queens, each review containing a short history of the cuisine, the cuisine's geographic representation, the restaurant's ambiance and decor, and the chefs' best dishes. The goal of this guide is to highlight the underrepresented cuisines and cultures found throughout the world, a goal that will be developed through analysis of each restaurant's quality of food, authenticity, and ambiance, in addition to other reviewers' insights.
