Although I have to admit, it's gotten a lot better lately. CPK to me is like if McDonald's served fusion food. Okay, maybe not McDonald's but Denny's. I hate CPK.

Chilis, TGIFridays, Bennigans, Pizza Hut... american chain heaven(hell?). The only "foreign" food restaurants were Chinese and the occasional "Tokyo Express" stands found in mall food courts. :/ One thing that I do miss from Chicago is Dunkin' Donuts!

It's like they take (for lack of a better word) Asian-y food, add sugar to make it palatable to Americans, and double the price to make it hip. Hmmm... It's a few miles further out, but don't forget you've got Little India on Pioneer Blvd in Artesia. Go to Woodlands and try the dosas... yummy. ‘Fusion’ always makes me suspicious.

My dad will eat and try anything, while my mom is very specific and picky. Over the years I went from being more like my mom to being just like my dad, and I never would have had that chance if I stayed in the midwest all these years.

I remember being scared to even try sushi. Back then I thought sushi referred to california rolls too, hehe. Then after a couple of years of hanging out at UCLA I got to try so many different kinds of foods like you mentioned. I used to go to hs get-togethers, post hs, and people thought I was so "LA" bc I liked trying different things. It's just interesting that LB is only 20-25 miles south of UCLA and there is such a different mentality to what is "out there" in LA versus what they're comfortable with. I stopped going to those hs mini-reunions :) It’s funny bc I went to school in socal (Long Beach to be specific) and before college all I had was my own culture’s food (Vietnamese), italian (at Olive Garden, hehe), chinese (at $1 take out places) and american.
