AUTHENTICITY
& INNOVATION
teaching culinary courses,
Mr. Von Bargen is involved in
product R&D through the CIA's
industry consulting division.
His book "Street Foods" was
published in 2015, and in 2017 he
and his wife Ming Qian Von Bargen
opened Ming's Noodle Bar in downtown San
Antonio.
"Primarily, I'm with the CIA, but for me Ming's
Noodle Bar is a cool playground for testing concepts," Mr.
Von Bargen said.
Ming was developing the Noodle Bar at about the same time her
husband was finishing his book, aiming to provide how-to information for chefs
interested in developing a street food concept.
While chefs may aspire to maintain the authenticity of different cuisines, Mr. Von Bargen recognizes all cuisines need space to evolve.
"If you push authenticity too much how could we accept tomatoes in Italian cuisine?" he
said. "There were no tomatoes in Italy or cashews in Chinese cuisine."
In San Antonio, Mr. Von Bargen is seeing an increase in the use of harissa, peri peri, fermented chili paste, chimichurri, plus other condiments that provide a way to boost the flavor of
grilled meats.
"Guests put it on the meat themselves when it's served as a tableside condiment in an
Argentinian restaurant, for example," he said. "Also, with the growing awareness of Latin cuisine, chimichurri is being used for a simple braise."

Factory, Calabasas Hills, Calif., operates approximately 200 restaurants in the US and a dozen
locations in the Middle East, China and Mexico. Recipes at the international locations are identical to those prepared and served in the US. Whenever a new concept is being developed, it's
trialed in the field at six beta-site Cheesecake Factory restaurants throughout the country.
"We used to be guided by comfort food," Mr. Okura said. "In my opinion, street foods are
really good examples of comfort foods to that region. It's what the local people grew up with
