Fusion Food can be almost anything. Usually, it is mixing two ethnic foods together into something new - like Shanghai Spaghetti (a very popular pasta dish in Italian restaurants, with a spicy sauce and lots of seafood and vegetables). But occasionally, it is mixing two foods that don't normally go together (like sweet potatoes or chestnuts on pizza).
A few weeks ago, Sarah and I stumbled onto a very interesting fusion restaurant: Carbone. It has a funky urban vibe, and it was quiet even though busy.
We ordered "Salad Pasta" and "Spoon Pizza." Now, that's not pasta salad, like those twirly little noodles you might get at a church potluck. That's actually lettuce salad over a bed of spaghetti. It sounds crazy, but the creamy honey mustard sauce actually made it work. The Spoon Pizza is a deep dish pizza with a soft crust and lots of toppings, and naturally, you eat it with a spoon.
Good times.
