From Family Kitchen to National Treasure
Eats American was born in 2020 from a simple idea: to preserve and celebrate the diverse culinary traditions that define American cuisine. What started as a family project to document cherished recipes has grown into a comprehensive resource serving home cooks across the country and around the world.
Our founder, Sarah Johnson, grew up in a household where food was more than just sustenance – it was connection, heritage, and love. Her grandmother’s biscuit recipe, her father’s barbecue techniques, and her mother’s holiday traditions formed the foundation of what would become Eats American.
Today, we’re a team of passionate food historians, chefs, and writers dedicated to bringing you authentic American recipes that tell the story of our nation through food. From New England clam chowder to Southern barbecue, from Midwestern hotdish to Southwestern chili, we’re here to help you create delicious American meals in your own kitchen.
