Speaking of that, my brother was seriously thinking about buying some beef tongue at Costco... But the smallest one was 2-1/2 pounds. Sweat

Daikokuya expanding to Arcadia...man that place has popped everywhere!

Arcadia: Daikokuya Arcadia is/was due to open Mid April, but has been delayed due to "health deptment approval" etc. A company rep says they are still hoping for an April debut. This is a new location for the famed downtown ramen abode. 1220 S Golden W Ave., Arcadia

DANG. That's a bit much...

They sell gyu-tan <tongue> at Mitsuwa in much smaller quantities. I have to say of the few places that I've eaten tongue the best is Shinsengumi. The pieces on the skewer are small, thinly sliced, but cooked to perfection with a little salt -- juicy and moist.



Some yakitori joints use pieces that are too big and it doesn't taste quite as good, in terms of flavor and texture.

I guess they are attempting to branch out in other Asian enclaves.

Those fortune cookies will take China by storm...not too mention the American practice of drenching white rice with soy sauce. It will revolutionize Chinese culinary norms!

It will start off China's Second Cultural Revolution!

I strongly suggest on opening day that every food pan in the restaurant be filled only with Orange Chicken. Moreover, said chicken can only be served with chop suey, no rice.

That'll wow 'em!

Don't spoil 'em too soon, man.

The only treasure they will be entitled to is the lotto numbers on the back of the fortune.

Hate to say this, but Mexican lengua (tongue) is often more tender than gyutan.

Americans Confused by Red Wine, Sea Salt
Bill Sertl, Posted Apr 26th 2011

Ignorance is bliss, but it's not very good for your health. U.S. News Health reports that 76% of 1,000 American polled agreed with the statement "wine can be good for your heart." Hey, the good news is: That's true, but only if you consume two glasses per day if you're a man and one glass if you're a woman. Otherwise -- and here comes the really bad news -- excess drinking can lead to all kinds of problems like irregular heartbeat, obesity, cancer, high blood pressure and even heart failure.

Not only that, but Americans are also ill-informed about sodium, believing (56% of those surveyed) that ordinary table salt is the primary source in our diets. (61% believed, incorrectly, that sea salt had less sodium than regular salt.) All you have to do to understand that most of our sodium comes from processed foods-soups, snacks, condiments and canned foods like tomato sauce (why do you think they taste so good?) -- is to pick up a container of seemingly harmless cottage cheese and read the label. It will show that an eight-ounce serving contains about 720 milligrams of sodium, or half your daily recommended intake.

Americans are also famously bad at geography, but there's no word yet on whether young people are having trouble locating Napa and Salt Lake City on maps.

Yikes!! Anything in excess is bad for your health. I wish Costco would make their own prepared foods with minimal salt or no salt and let the people add whatever amount they want. Everything they make has too much sodium including the prepared foods from outside companies! bleh

^ What cracks me up is all this hype about sea salt like it's better and/or healthier than regular table salt...

IT'S STILL SALT... Sodium Chloride. Shake Head Crazy

First meal out in London on April 20, 2011, while waiting for my buddy to get off work.

Cumberland Sausages with Cheesy Mash & traditional gravy.
