The first time I ever tried Fusion cuisine was at the Caribbean Breeze, a gourmet resteraunt that was in Belleville for far too short of a time. My parents took me there once for lunch and I went there as many times as possible before it unfortunately closed:

For those of you who do not know, Fusion cuisine borrows from many cultures across the globe, and doesn’t really have a specific definition but this one seems to do a fair job:

I treated several of my friends out to a meal at the Caribbean Breeze before it closed; I felt I had to share the gift of fine cooking the only way I knew how: with a credit card. The place really was that good. I even attended the closing day, which was also chef Mitsuo Miyashita’s birthday. It was kind of sad, but the food and wine was good enough to make it a happy occasion on my side.

There are some Fusion resteraunts in St. Louis I might try out soon. A couple have caught my interest:
