Lurking lurking. I don't know a lot about NY. :sweat:

I share your opinion on tats tho. I'd never get one, tho I've considered it for a while. Nowhere visible, of course. I doubt I'll ever get one tho.

I just saw a clip of Anthony Bourdain when he went to Osaka....he was at a sports bar in Osaka which was full of die hard Hanshin Tigers fans <the local Kansai baseball team>...and at this local joint when the Hanshin Tigers, the home team, wins a game...all the mugs of beer at the restaurant are sold for ONLY 40 YEN...that's less than 40 cents. :shocked:

Those pics made me so hungry.. :drooling: What exactly is "Kurobuta medallions"? I get that it's pork, but I'm curious about the sauce and seasonings.

Kurobuta refers to the type of pork, known as "black pork or Berkshire pork" widely considered the "Kobe Beef" of pork.....the seasonings include green peppercorns sauteed in the pan with the pieces (i.e. medallions) of pork.

the pork is soft, tender, and juicy.....bascially dayem good. :mrgreen:
i dunno for sure but I think the sauce must have included some butter or other fat to cook the pork in...it was delicious in any event.

Looks so good :drooling:

So takoyaki doesn't always have to be octopus?

Nice! Just before lunch, too... :(

the definition of takoyaki means "grilled octopus (balls)" but there are many versions of takoyaki including ingredients such as cheese or other fillings that are served....

don't get it twisted...if anybody refers to takoyaki they are referring to battered balls of octopus...but there are variations....i've seen it on tv.

My stomach is grumbling just looking at the pics. Even though I go home in about a half hour, there's nothing I have at home that can compare to those medallions or scallops. :(
