"""George Geary has chronicled California's place in the legacy of American eating.""—The New York Times “George Geary’s Made in California takes you on a delightful journey down memory lane. It’s a must-read guide for anyone who loves history, food, and California’s culture of innovation. Fortunately, you can still visit many of these iconic locations, so plan your road trip now!” —Linda Dishman, president and CEO, Los Angeles Conservancy “This delicious book serves up more than a feast of information—it’s food for the soul of anyone who is hungry for the back stories and glories of California’s classic cuisine, iconic kitchens, famous flavors, and tastiest landmarks.” —Charles Phoenix, author of Addicted to Americana and Holiday Jubilee “I gained fifteen pounds reading this book, but it was worth it because ten of those went to my brain! A smart, encyclopedic, delightful read worthy of a coffee table, a classroom syllabus, or a car seat as a road-trip companion!” —Gustavo Arellano, author of Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America"
