Tokyo, Day 1

The Fooder Conquers Asia

Life, my dear reader, would hardly be worth living if you didn't get my opinions on Japanese and Thai cuisine. Therefore, I hasten to the magic realm of Thai-pan, aka. Thailand and Japan, for your dining pleasure. I will eat the finest street food and liquor these backwaters have to offer. Stay super extra tuned for details of culinary glory RIGHT HERE true believer.

A cryptic message from The Expert:

Couldn't sleep. Thinking in my fooder voice. (The Fooder gets in yer head --editor) Blogs are like assholes... I've crashed on couches with people who have cable, I've watched the food network, I know that burger isn't medium rare... Everyone seems to be outdoing themselves to charge more for something that used to be cheap (insert review for hipster taco, cupcake, doughnut, ramen, bar food)...
That and I'm hungry. I'm trying not to drink beer or eat crappy food for a week. A whole week. It's harder than I thought. thanksgiving will break me of these shenanigans  but I might return right back into this routine for an unheralded clear headed look at the holidays. The holidays are always a time for guilt drinking, hate eating, and commitment fucking anyway. It's never as tragic as you hope it will be.

If you want to go out for tea sometime after work let me know. We'll hit up all the after hour tea shops...who's names escape me at the moment.
Cheers!

I couldn't agree more. Why would anyone bother to name a tea shop? Dens for savages and communists are un-deserving of the honor. 

But my friend, I hear your pain, the suffering unmasked by your heartfelt, sleep-deprived words. Soon the world will understand what it means to dine on the succulent morsels of blended meat and gelled offal. Why? Because we will tell them, we will shout it from the mountaintops. The maitre'D's of the world will quake at the approaching thunder of our flatulations, their sous chefs whither in our shadows. We will digest their misbegotten "entrees" and "hors d' oeuvres"  and leave them bereft of hope. Give thyself not into the malaise that besets you, instead, prepare thyself for conquest and antacid. No flambe nor tar-tar will hinder us from our destiny...our fate...to rule the foodie blogosphere!
