At the National Museum of American History, I research prominent Asian Pacific American business leaders for inclusion in the upcoming <em>American Enterprise<\/em> exhibit. <em>American Enterprise<\/em> will explore the interplay between the producer and the consumer as the American marketplace developed. My focus so far has been on the story of Advanced Fresh Concepts Corporation (AFC) and their expansion of the sushi market in the United States. Founded in California in 1986, AFC is now the largest sushi bar chain in the nation and is a great example of the hybridization of a foreign product into American culture.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, I am doing research on the growth of KFC in China and McDonald\u2019s in Japan as part of the process of globalization and international exchange. Outside of research, I have helped with the installation of the new showcase <a href=\"http:\/\/apanews.si.edu\/2011\/03\/04\/sweet-and-sour-showcase\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>Sweet &amp; Sour<\/em><\/a> which gives a snapshot of the growth of Chinese restaurants in America. Working with the Smithsonian has been very rewarding and a complement to my academic studies. Although I am originally from Boston, I hope to find a job in D.C. this summer and after graduation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a Junior at Georgetown University studying History and Japanese.
