Northern Californians take pride in the French Laundry in Yountville. Some rank it the best restaurant in the United States. I have it on good authority that the mac and cheese they serve is first-rate. And if you doubt they serve mac and cheese in their $1,000 meals, think again.
But Southern California has a strong claim in some of the lower apartments in the tower of cuisine. Consider a few of the dishes invented in Los Angeles. The hot fudge sundae. The California roll. Smoothies. The French dip sandwich. The Cobb salad. Chinese chicken salad.
The pride of San Francisco may be the Mission burrito, invented in 1961. This burro consists of a large wheat tortilla filled with rice, beans, meat and many other fine items. It comes wrapped in shiny foil. A complete Mexican meal, the mission burrito can now be found in all the blue states.
