Food establishments are essential to building and understanding the social and political dynamics of ethnoburbs, or suburbs mainly composed of one ethnic enclave. Immigrants and restaurants have historically depended on each other, and the availability of ethnic food continually influences immigrant life and builds community belonging. The built environment of main streets and strip malls in the contemporary ethnoburb demonstrates the centrality of restaurants in the daily lives and economies of ethnic enclaves. Existing scholarship focuses on Asian food histories in the US or Chinatowns, a more historical perspective on an urban ethnic enclave where Asian food transformed as tourist attraction fitting an American mainstream. My study broadens the understanding of food in contemporary ethnoburbs, which is where research is lacking despite many ethnic enclaves now being situated in the suburbs. Further, previous ethnoburb research observed how ethnoburbs were formed through migration and racial politics. I will instead examine current trends in ethnic suburban neighborhoods by performing a case study of two strip malls on the same main street in the San Gabriel Valley, a large cluster of Asian ethnoburbs in Los Angeles County. These strip malls are built 35 years apart, making them a great example of a temporal change in landscape. The contrasting architectural designs and restaurant tenants exemplify how the area has changed in its spatially political and economic landscapes. Findings may be applied to other ethnoburbs across the US affected by similar forces of social mobility, transnational wealth, and racial assimilation.
