You should explain to the folks what is inside a CA burrito: french fries, grilled steak, salsa, sour cream, guacamole.
There's also California style sushi, made with avocado, jalapeños and all kinds of other CA influences.
Most people don't really know that San Diego is to Mexican Food what New York is to Pizza. You and I know that the Carne Asada is seasoned a certain way that it isn't elsewhere, even in LA. In most places, burritos are filled with heaps of rice and beans so there is less room for the meat.

California style sushi originated in LA.
But LA kids think they have the best Mexican food.
My cousins drove me 45 minutes to King Taco in LA, they kept ranting and raving about how amazing the tacos were. When I tried the carne asada ones I was not impressed at all!
San Diego has more of a northern Mexican influence in how they prepare the meat, more ranch Sonora style that is used in Tijuana. I think that is why the meat tastes better.
Kedgeree is also a British Dish and was introduced to Victorian Britain as a Breakfast Dish deriving from India, the British took a number of food and spices from India, and even British condiments such as Chutney and piccalilli derive from India.
Why lamb over rice for NYC? That's a typical Central Asian or Afghan dish. Afghan communities all over the US serve that, and it's just as authentic as in NY, wherever they serve it. I've never heard of that as a NYC thing. Indian restaurants are great with that, too. And pizza? NYC pizza is "authentic"? Maybe if you get it in an Italian restaurant, but otherwise, no pizza in the US is "authentic", according to Italians. And cheesecake? I don't understand these choices.
But baked beans & Boston, that I get. New Orleans and gumbo, definitely. Seattle--salmon?

I had a better, almost San Diego style burrito off a food truck in Gary, Indiana than I've ever had in LA LOL.
Then there's the San Francisco style burrito that the restaurant Chipotle is mottled after. The real ones in the Bay Area are fine if you're hungry enough to eat to a walrus because that's about how big they are. Again, what ruins them for me is that the fill them with so much rice and beans. I grew up on Mexican in the Bay Area so you'd think I'd like it better but I don't.

Yes, I agree. Although Gumbo is made by Black families throughout the US, New Orleans is where it's true home is. Also, you know from experience as well that no place has salmon the same quality as Seattle.
