Thousand is OK on a Big Mac. Or w/shaved Gorgonzola cheese. But I like a
nice creamy ranch, buttermilk, blue cheese, or even Russian (California)
dressing. Especially w/bacn bits.

I got a pretty good culinary education when I moved to Californica.
Found the El Mexico cafe where I was one of the few Gringos. And The
House of Yee (Cantonese Chinese) where, apparently no one in the kitchen
spoke American) I started at the top of the menu and worked my way down.
Noting 'repeaters" as I went. The J.B.'s Little Bali where I was introduced
to the 50+ course Rijsttafel - more a Dutch thing. Each "course" was 2 tb
or less of a different flavour/dish. And rice. Lots and lots of rice.
