I especially love the "Periphery of the Plate" trend (de-emphasizing meat as the center of a meal). While I certainly crave a cheeseburger and a roast chicken semi-frequently, I am grateful that California cuisine really celebrates the side dishes.
Having grown up and always lived in California, I always assumed that eating like this was just... eating. It's how my mom always cooked, how my friends' families cooked, and how I learned to cook. Now I know the California diet is a point of state pride -- woo hoo CA!
