#1 - California MOINK Ball Wrap - $5
All great change in America begins at the dinner table. --Ronald Reagan
Four of our big, juicy, delicious 100% Beef meatballs wrapped with hickory smoked bacon and grilled to perfection with a delectably sweet and spicy glaze of smokey good BBQ sauce, all wrapped up in a bed of crisp, cool lettuce, vine ripened tomato and fresh sliced avocado, with mayonnaise and blue cheese crumbles. This wrap can tear down the walls of tyranny!
It's truly a delicious wrap, worthy of a landslide re-election. Sadly though, for some reason this restaurant does not succeed, despite a very loyal following of regular customers. It seems some local politicians did not like the atmosphere and changed the zoning laws.

Menu entry: California Pulled-Pork Avocado Sandwich: $8.95
Business Model: The restaurant California Dreamin' is a gourmet sandwich shop that embodies the California business model. We serve only the finest ingredients in our environmentally friendly sandwiches. There is no need for utensils as the sandwich can be eaten directly from the avocado skin. The avocados are grown on our own private farms and the trees are tended individually and watered with rainwater collected by hand. Because of this added care, the true cost is approximately $10,000 per avocado; however, because the operation is environmentally friendly, the state of California subsidizes all these costs.
Restaurant fate: Business became so brisk, that California Dreamin' soon opened up chains throughout the state. As each new chain opened, the state debt increased. However, after eating one of the Pulled-Pork Avocado Sandwiches, a California Scientist hit upon a Eureka moment. Returning to the laboratory, the scientist added a pork gene to an avocado plant and created the Money Tree.

Today's Dish: Cioppino
Price: $9.99 (Does not include fines and taxes)***
Description on Menu: Dungeness Crab Cioppino served with Sourdough Garlic Bread and Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
History: Cioppino is a San Francisco regional seafood dish started by Itialian fisherman in the late 1800's. The dish usually includes all sorts of seafood such as crab and shellfish in a tomato based sauce. Typically the words "cioppino" and "barbecue" rarely go together but if there is one thing us Californian's like to do (besides drive 100mph through school zones) it is taking a perfectly delicious dish and finding a way to make it even better with live fire! With the beautiful weather and abundance of seafood I felt there was nothing better to represent California in a throwdown than Cioppino! Welcome to my new restaurant, have a seat, and your dinner with be served shortly.
