“Ah, Grasshopper, when you can snatch the chopsticks from my hand…”
Learn how to use Chopsticks from a Japanese Chopstick Master!!!
Lesson 1: How to split apart those cheap wooden chopsticks
Lesson 2: How to eat Japanese soba noodles
Lesson 3: How to eat a McDonald’s Cheeseburger
Great, now I’m hungry. Anybody know a good noodle place around here?
Can’t tell from your clock what time this is but 3755 Main is open until 9. 604-873-8896. Now I must eat!
Now I see it’s less than an hour! If you go get a Green Onion Pan Cake too (only $1.75) everything is GREAT.
Thanks! Also looking for dining companions; what are you up to this evening?
You want fries with your McNoodles?
No, too hard to eat with chopsticks.
I’m torn now; do I go to the Ovaltine for a burger or to Hon’s for some noodly goodness?
Actually a really good (if weird concept) movie: http://imdb.com/title/tt0092048/
Yes, that was an excellent movie.
Now, why hasn’t anyone put that Japanese noodle-eating etiquette lesson up on YouTube, dammit?
If you’re comfortable with bittorrent, there’s a few links to download it: http://www.google.com/search?q=tampopo+torrent
Oooh, thankies!
Seymour on http://urbandiner.ca has asked about tofu places: well, fuck that, tofu’s not food, but does anyone know any good Japanese noodle places in Vancouver?
I’ve got the Chinese ones scoped out, and I love Saigon for lunch, but it’s a graveyard at dinner, if it’s not already closed (I think it’s only open two hours at dinner) so any suggestions are welcome.
Came back just now as I had put off all my work until evening. Missed your quest. Wholesome beans tomorrow, I also made a pumpernickel yesterday that I can hardly keep my hands off! I’ll save you a chunk if you can make it. Let me know, LB
Booked tonight, alas. What about Wednesday? Got the Shebeen Club tomorrow.
Was it the wholesome part?
No, it’s the one time only cheap premium cocktails at the poshest restaurant in town. I’m sure you pour Grey Goose just as well as Connor Butler, but you don’t do it in a gothic crypt.
I couldn’t aspire, to anything higher! Is that Connor the butler who did IT? What is the poshest or by telling not posh?
$160 a plate = posh. As for whether or not he did it, I’m not in a position to say.
What position would that be???
Well, exactly. I had the day from Hell and ended up not being able to leave the apartment. I would expect, at those prices, he’d take any position you wanted.
