I recently returned to Castroville's Giant Artichoke Restaurant near Monterey, California after many years. It's amazing how much smaller the artichoke was in my half-century-older eyes. Where did that 'giant' artichoke go? The restaurant was so worn down and tattered - definitely an overrated tourist trap from my memory. The fried artichokes were still good, but I heard that there are many more places to buy them in Castroville these days.
