What could possibly go wrong when you combine the nations's most productive produce farming region with culinary influences from around the world? In the right setting and in the right hands (read: not California Pizza Kitchen), absolutely nothing. If you're looking for culinary creations that will put the west coast's best on your plate, head to a restaurant serving California cuisine. Fresh veggies, avocado, seafood, artisan breads and cheeses, and of course, fine wines, likely dominate the table, providing the perfect accompaniment to a slow sunset over the Pacific.
