Maybe you could take her to a hippie vegetarian restaurant, you know tofu, veggies, etc. Kind of cross–over/gateway food, ease her into the whole american culinary scene.
Seriously though, expect the culture shock to be real and profound. I never felt it when I left the US, but boy when I came back it was harsh. I love the US, but there are things about the way we live that are just plain whacked.
Isn't the best food in Cali anyway? When I vistied SF I was so jealous of the food you all had access to.
