Food is often as distinct and diverse as the cultures they come from. The diffusion of foreign food in international cities (which are becoming places of ever increasing diversity) such as Berlin, is very symbolic of the growing presence of globalization around the world and its impact on culture.

Born in the USA, Made in France: How McDonald's Succeeds in the Land of Michelin Stars by Knowledge@Wharton, the online business journal of the Wharton School.
While many portray McDonald's as the embodiment of all that is wrong with globalization, the diffusion of McDonald's is not a simple replication of the American fast food chain and exporting it elsewhere...a lot of local adaptations on a global model is part of McDonald's successful economic model.
