Question

[JEANNIE BERNIER]

Mm, California Pizza Kitchen, anyone?

Heck, y'all can all just hop over to here to Chicago, and we'll set you up
with some fried smelts, Vienna hot dogs with neon-green relish, and fizzy
watered-down beer.

Doug,
You have such a way with the obvious!

None of the three cuisines I mention below are "from" Louisiana either.  
They are all imports which have developed into local traditions.  I know, 
"California" and "tradition" might be mutually exclusive terms, and I 
suppose sushi IS ubiquitous, but have you ever heard of a "California Roll?"

  A-and there's no denying the large Japanese-American population in 
California...

I might have suggested Mexican, or some prominent "nouvea" cuisine (but I 
don't have a clue what that would be), but I really like sushi.
