Except in the case of the California burrito which typically adds French fries [1] into the mix [1] https://www.themanual.com/food-and-drink/california-burrito/
In my experience a california burrito has french fries _and_ guac (avacado).

""California" as a modifier to food generally means "with avocado"" I read that quickly, ignored the "to food" component, and then imagined all Californians walking around with an avocado in their pocket at all times...
Change "pocket" to backpack and my word, am I guilty... I have an invented breakfast I call "Breakfast of Champions" – just some plain popcorn with avocado and fresh-cracked pepper. Bonus: if I have nutritional yeast on hand. Delicious, nutrious, vegan, gluten-free, high fiber, etc. If I have emergency avocado in my backpack I can make this happen just about anywhere I spend the night.

>Also, the headline is wrong, it was not a Canadian chef but rather a Japanese chef living in Canada. According to wikipedia he moved to Canada in 1971 at age 21. It calls him Japanese-Canadian. I'd wager he's become a Canadian citizen by now, though I can't be bothered to research it. Do you have evidence that is he not Canadian?
At the time of his invention, back in '71, I'd say he was pretty Japanese. Today he's likely Canadianized. So the spirit of the invention is Japanese, rather than Canadian. If I move to the UK and invent something, is it automatically a British invention, or an American invention?
Well, certainly not European.
But, maybe - wouldn't it depend on where you filed your copyright/ patent/ trademark and possibly who you work for?
The California roll was created in the 70s by Ichiro Mashita, who worked at a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles called The Tokyo Kaikan.
Food with placenames often are misleading and not from the placename that makes up the dish: french fries, hamburger, german chocolate cake, danish, wiener, etc. add california roll to that list. [and how could I forget Hawaiian pizza? as noted in sibling comment] Also, the headline is wrong, it was not a Canadian chef but rather a Japanese chef living in Canada.
The Turkish word for a turkey is hindi, which literally means “Indian.” The original word in French, coq d’Inde, meant “rooster of India,” and has since shortened to dinde. These names likely derive from the common misconception that India and the New World were one and the same. In Portuguese, it’s literally a “Peru bird,” and in Malay, it’s called a “Dutch chicken.”
"California" as a modifier to food generally means "with avocado" If you get a "California burger" it will have avocado on it
Dutch Apple pies are made in a Dutch oven, not the Netherlands
