Greek-American cuisine

As immigrants from various Greek areas settled in different regions of the United States and became "Greek Americans," they carried with them different traditions of foods and recipes that were particularly identified with their regional origins in Greece and yet infused with the characteristics of their new home locale in America.

Greek-American cuisine is especially prominent in areas of concentrated Greek communities, such as Astoria, Queens and Tarpon Springs, Florida.

Greek-American cuisine spread to the western US with immigrants who tended to work mining, smelting, and railroading towns in the region.

In Salt Lake City Greek-American cuisine is a common part of the menu at fast-food restaurants such as Crown Burgers.
