sometimes want to do a michael douglas from 'falling down'!! :goddammit:

It's the atmosphere.... I'd probably even eat at McD's if I were in Japan. ;)

Yeah the food does taste better there. I even had a yogurt drink that I thought was delicious. Plus their fried chicken at the tiny Family Mart was sooo good too! Must be somrthing about just being in Japan that makes the food taste so good! :thumbsup:

Never developed a taste for 'em... I think my mom makes some Chinese-y dish using collard greens, and I didn't like it... Tainted for life. :hehe:

Just had peas and corn.

see what i'm saying...another believer. my opinion is that they are much more serious about the quality of food there despite the fact that it costs more, its nonetheless reflected in the taste. food is more of an obsession, qualitatively speaking not quantatively (as in the united states). i seriously had some of the best meals in my life there, both japanese AND western cuisine.

just channel surfing you'll see numerious cooking shows or shows that show case food...it's unreal how delicious the food looks....

i've been ranting and raving about SMAPxSMAP and the bistro SMAP section lately...the food that Kimura Takuya, Goro, and Shingo make is quite outstanding....actually i'm still skeptical that those four men are such good cooks?!?!?

You left out the other SMAP guy: SMAP guy on the Dotch Cooking Show. :hehe:

As far as their cooking prowess goes, I'm very skeptical.
