There are Japanese people in the Midwest?! I feel so sorry for them.

Make it, though! And send me some! Without the squid, of course.

Oh, and you know what’s funny? For months there, they were showing a piece about Tuck Shop on the LCDs inside of cabs. So I’m not sure it qualifies as secret, you know?

Oh, crap, Kim. Kamran has been trying to force me to go to Congee Village for moooonths now, but they serve crazy things like duck blood soup. (I may just be making that part up, but seriously, it’s nasty stuff.) Now that David Chang is recommending it, I’m a dead man, and it’s all your fault.

And that, of course, is why I look forward to coming home. I’m finally going to make you get a Twisted Frosty with me 4 realz.

Funny! I had never heard of Okonomiyaki until yesterday when a Japanese student gave me a special “family recipe.” However, I think I am going to pass on the do-it-at-home version…

Fill up on this weirdness while you can, because when you’re back here, all I’m feeding you is Dairy Queen footlongs.

I’ll send you out with Kamran to eat all the fish guts, pig’s brains, and general offal that he wants to but that I’m queasy about. He’ll love you forever.

I am seriously dying to take an eating tour of New York. The weirder, the better.
