My husband, Lee, is an unapologetic foodie. Particularly a California foodie. He brought home a menu from one of his pilgrimages from Cafe Gratitude<\/em> that I loved, not just for the food it featured, but for the concepts of the dish names. I thought about how clever it was to think about food this way, and how much fun it would be to make dishes for the food. There’s a class project in there somewhere. Menu online here.<\/a><\/p>\n
