You're right about this in most cases. The problem here in California
is...well..."California Cuisine". Which, as I'm sure you know, is really a
hodge-podge of ethnic influences, solidified into a sort of neo-classical
fusion cuisine. With that many possibilities, it is very difficult to
imagine what the chefs want you to make. At the same time, however, it
leaves the door wide open for variety. Luckily, I don't have to worry about
*that* kind of competition, anymore. Now it's all about jockeying for
benefits and salary.... :(
