Where I live, Kewpie mayonnaise and products are everywhere (honey mustard, tartar sauce, Caesar's dressing, mayo variations etc) but I really dislike it very much cos it tastes like marker pen...other Kewpie dressings also taste like too much salt & MSG, a bit of artificial wasabe...So far, the best mayo for me is Heinz...creamy, tangy, mild...I wish I could taste other mayonnaise by mported brands as well if they're available.
I miss when you were able to walk in and order a Torta! Some of the old food they used to have in the menu is gone. I used to walk in and talk to them say hi, it was so cozy before. Miss that..
Saw your segment on eater when Kato was still in a strip mall and had to look you up to see how you’re doing. I feel proud like a mama! You are proof positive that people do not have to have a huge ego and be abusive in order to succeed. Perfect timing! Congratulations! 🍾
Where was My Invite? I Love Wings, Spicy Bacon Ranch is my Favorite, also like Lemon-Pepper, Parmesan-Garlic are next local choice, your Honey-Butter sounds good 😜👍
Miracle Whip is hands down, the most delicious and perfect mayonnaise. I grew up with Miracle Whip, being heavily slathered on two pieces of White Wonder Bread , with a thick slab of Liver Warts and thinly sliced, pickled red onions.
I love that the burritos number one filling is meat! Where I live in Seattle all the Mexican food truck burritos are filled with rice as the prime ingredient!
If you're from Oklahoma, you share a lot of characteristics with certain adjoining states. Historically, we a special bond with California, which is not an adjoining state. We shipped all of our migrant workers there in the 1930's and then they were called "Okies" when they got there... It was unfortunate for us, as the heirs of the landowners of Oklahoma. We had a drought for a while in the 1930's and didn't need migrant workers... I've lived in Oklahoma all my life, I've never been to California, I wear that as a badge of honor. I've never had an In-N-Out burger. I can get one in Dallas, but I'd rather fly to Houston at one of Pappa's restaurants. If I ever go to Vegas, I'll get an In-N-Out burger. Braum's, What-A-Burger and Sonic are good enough around here... Local in Tulsa, the best burger is a Lot-a-burger.
I’ve traveled the states and haven’t found a fast food burger as good as Braum’s. Best burger i’ve ever had in the world was at Cafe Skibbroen in Tønder,Denmark
"Age" is fried tofu. This is indicated by the kanji 揚げ which means "fried". "Yuba" is tofu skin which is made from the "skin" that forms during the making of tofu. I was alive (and in California) when the California Rolls (with imitation crab) became famous. It's definitely from LA where imitation crab first were sold. Avocado was not even commonly sold in Washington back in the early 70s. (I was there, too, during that time! I had my first avocado after moving back to California later) Thank you very much for making this.
