One reference specifically says Chez Panisse was the birthplace of California cuisine. I.e., not Stars.
Peacock language, i.e., things that, at best, need verification: "landmark restaurant" -- what does that mean -- it was in a guidebook?. "busy open kitchen" -- other kitchens aren't busy? "instant sensation" -- give me a break, that's straight hype, "top-grossing restaurants" -- prove it.
The reference doesn't say that Tower declared he was done with California, it's the columnist's comment in passing that he "apparently was." (The same columnist that Tower refused to talk to. According to the article. Apparently.)
Statements such as "launched the careers" would probably be disputed by some of the chefs, themselves. "Greatly furthered the careers" would be a little less hype-like.
It's really tiresome to wade through the innuendos and fashionably correct articles from the San Francisco Chronicle: they don't appear reliable, they aren't from primary sources, and by far the bulk of the material comes from a columnist who Towers wouldn't talk to. One could spend forever debating which renowned chefs were "launched" by an institution -- as opposed to publicity, happenstance, or perhaps -- talent. Therefore the statements do not belong in an encyclopedia. 67.169.126.223 ( talk) 15:56, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
