Re: benchmark dishes
Pad Thai works because their choice of sauce says a lot about the place.
Some places you're basically getting ketchup or BBQ sauce, and some places an actual tamarind has been near the sauce.
I also use Swimming Rama as a benchline, because I'm a gringo and order that a lot.

Tulio's used to be a good Italian, place, or it was years ago when my grandparents took me there.
