...California Restaurant Month Kicks Off In January
The land of goat milk, arugula, and honey continues to prosper, and no surprise, given that California's 81,700+ farms produce nearly half of all domestically-grown crops.

We've all been there. Maybe we've been one. The person on a guided tour or trip who's a complete, utter, pain in the ass.
