Letter from the Editors

A Bite of East Asia

Hello readers!

This our first and only addition of A Bite of Asia.We attend the Liberal Arts and Science Academy, a magnet high school located in Austin, Texas. We are currently freshmen and students of the class of 2026.

In our opinion food is not just about its sustenance, but it is also an essential part of culture, heritage, and identity. It is our mission to celebrate and share the richness of Asian Cuisine, covering everything from food trucks to fine dining. From traditional to fusion and experimental dishes.

All of us had a large interest in sushi so we wanted to incorporate that into our article, but we had to broaden the topic. The topic we are pursuing is Asian cuisine in a few specific countries and how it is implemented in American society. Each group member chose a nation to become an expert over. Our article centers around the regions of Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

Our magazine includes a variety of exciting feature stories and infographics lined up for you, including chef profiles, restaurant reviews, and recipes you can easily make at home. The creation of our feature stories took a lot of work, but we hope that they are appealing and enlightening to you. We are particularly proud of our individual infographic that we put lots of time, effort, and detail into. Our team has worked hard to create engaging and informative content that will expand your knowledge and appreciation of Asian Cuisine.

Thank you so much for taking your time to view our magazine. We hope you enjoy it!
