#2Food 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.

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?

#5"California" as a modifier to food generally means "with avocado"
If you get a "California burger" it will have avocado on it

Right, but it's not a cake originating in Germany.

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?
