DFW was supposed to be getting a route to Haneda, pre-COVID. (We only have routes to Narita). I think that was shelved :-( I hope it comes to fruition someday.

I’m so extra sensitive these days what with the state of the world, etc. I teared up when you started talking about Guy. I need to find a way to snap out of it!!!

On another note, I find listening to you very comforting. I think it’s because I watched a lot of Bizarre Foods back in the day!

My idea of fusion? Tex-Mex!

Must agree... 'Fusion' for the most part, is overrated... it sounds "interesting", yet tastes kinda like it suffers from cuisine-schizophrenia, a dish searching for a personality...

Your AMA with Anthony Bourdain was truly epoch... luv'it.!!! I have recorded over the years, all the Bourdain series; The Layover, No Reservations & Parts Unknown... and I watched the "No Reservations – Chile", where Anthony is gorging on a beef meat-feast... He says, "When I'm done feasting, I'm gonna make Andrew Zimmern looking like a 'Svelte ballerina'.... one of the most humorous culinary analogy I've heard in awhile...

AZ & All, have a spectacular weekend... Cheers & Ciao for now....

When I think of "fusion" food, my mind goes immediately to Singaporean cuisine. Although their food is undoubtedly their own, there's no denying the influences of Malay, Indian Chinese and Thai. We used to have a great Singaporean restaurant in Minneapolis--I really miss it.

Off the radar a bit, but heading to Malta in a couple weeks. Any suggestions?

A little off topic but thanks for Fly by Jing recommendation. I've never had such flavor and mellow heat before! Thanks again.

Agree on the fusion thing....not into the concept. Don't think it's necessary. PS is that an N on your shirt or a Z? ;)
