You're welcome. It's just a highly subjective start. The next guy's
list could be entirely different.

The food scene in L.A. is dynamic, ever-changing and extremely
diverse. I am not familiar with the site you mention but I do believe
that no one static site could do justice to L.A. You have only to
look through a week's worth of Chowhound to appreciate this. -aem

I it looked up and found
http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/MyCit...d-m640983.aspx
where I found a link to
http://www.mycitycuisine.org/wiki/Category:USA so I went to San
Francisco, of course. LOL! Rice-a-Roni??? The fact that it's *not*
a San Francisco treat (and who really believes that?) is right up
there with "Don't call it Frisco"... and real SF sourdough is just a
fond memory now. NotBob can find better tasting (with a better crust)
in Colorado than I can find here in the City.

They were just thrown out as possible topics and are still looking for
writers. I have no idea why this wiki thing should get off the ground
between wikipedia and chowhound... and of course yelp.

"Food Wiki" - MyCityCuisine. Did you guys hear anything about it?


I it looked up and found
MyCityCuisine, a Wiki Project dedicated to food!
where I found a link to
Category:USA - Mycitycuisine.org so I went to San
Francisco, of course. LOL! Rice-a-Roni??? The fact that it's *not*
a San Francisco treat (and who really believes that?) is right up
there with "Don't call it Frisco"... and real SF sourdough is just a
fond memory now. NotBob can find better tasting (with a better crust)
in Colorado than I can find here in the City.

Well, as far as I understood, this is just like the regular Wiki, so if something is wrong, you can definitely delete / change. I too agree some entries are not quite accurate. The only US city dish-list I found acceptable was Madison, WI.

If any of you guys are curious to see what I have come up so far, you can see it he Los Angeles Cuisine - Mycitycuisine.org
There are some other contributors that started writing things up based on the dish list I made. If it's not entirely accurate, please feel free to modify/delete. And once again, thank you all for your help! *bows*
