California Eats

I went to New York City one Summer and the Hotel Lady at the front desk told me that she feels sorry for me because "Californians don't know what REAL Food is." She claims that by the time the immigrants (Italians, Chinese, or any other food loving people) come to California, they don't know how to cook anymore.

Must. Not. Slap. Nice. Lady.

THIS, Lady, is for YOU. Eat THIS ::insert mean name here::!

My goal is to make a list of all the GREAT places I've eaten here in Good Ol' Cali-forn-I-A. It's a work in progress and if there is no link, I haven't written a formal post, yet. But, I WILL!
