A very interesting books coving american from from W p a or Works Progress Administration files. I felt California was lacking but maybe the author could not find any articles. I was expecting San Fransisco Sour Dough Bread , Chop Suey, oysters, tri-tips, cafeteria and others. I was highly surprised that the French Dip Sandwich organized in California. I hope people form other states enjoy the book and maybe learn something new about food from their state.
