Nueva Italia is in Mexico
Well, I ended up cooking Italian food tonight, or sort of Italian food, as it is really my own creation, and since it has Monterrey Jack, it should probably count as California cuisine.
But...Nueva Italia is in Mexico (Michoacan). I have never been there, but as far as I know it is the only such named place in the New World, so perhaps this counts.
It is too late for me to post the recipe, because I might forget what was in it, and I have to teach in the morning, but basically it was a grilled chicken, sauteed mushroom/Marsala, balsamic vinegar deal with a finish of jack, parmiggiano and chopped parsley. Very tasty. Holler if you want details.
