English term or phrase: melting-pot city
Whatever label you stick on crossover cooking – be it hybrid, merged, eclectic, compendium or just plain fusion – there is little doubt that it guides the cuisine of the global village. After bubbling up in melting-pot cities some thirty years ago it is now rippling worldwide - and, as it travels, it is becoming more subtle, more refined, more sharply focussed.

neutral  Florencia Florido (X): Melting pot = Crisol de Razas. Aquí, a pesar de que hay diversidad de culturas, están todas "mezcladas." En general, esas culturas adoptan en cierta manera la cultura de determinada ciudad o país. Hay unidad pero se se "pierde" la propia identidad (USA)

Explanation:
A menudo he visto "melting pot" traducido como "crisol". Si bien la imagen es diferente, el significado es prácticamente el mismo.
