American cuisine |

The Western United States has its cuisine, distinct in various ways from that of the rest of the country.[1] States west of Texas, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska would be considered part of this area, as would, in some cases, western parts of adjoining states.[2]
The locavore movement is increasingly influential, as is the concept of sustainability.[3] The influence of the Native American cultures of each area, but especially in the Northwest and in Navajo country,[4] is important in the cuisine picture of the Western United States.[5]
