Kewpie Mayo: a little disappointing

Ok so i know this is going to sound a little weird but bear with me. My friend james in college was from Tokyo and always had his little rice cooker going in his dorm room. He would fry up thin slices of marinated pork, spoon up a soba bowl full of rice, add chili oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, three or four healthy squeezes of kewpie and crack a raw egg over the whole thing. Then mix vigorously so the hot rice 'cooked' the egg and mayo coated everything. If he was poor and couldn't afford the pork he would eat it with canned tunafish. Either way I swear to god its the best thing to eat when your feeling sad or sick. I ate it for years thinking it was an authentic japanese dish, but i've never found anyone else (japanese or otherwise) who has eaten it!

From A Hamburger Today

Zaitzeff East Village in Time Out New York

I was very disappointed after visiting Zaitzeff (Ave B location) last Friday. The restaurant decor was cute, although a little chilly. Maybe because of the subway tiles covering the walls and floors. My main concern however, was with the food. The kobe beef burger was completely unseasoned! It was also soggy. My favorite thing about burgers is that crispy salty crust made from grilling it hot and fast, with gooey cheese everywhere. The Portuguese bun was also nothing to write home about, give me a potato bun anyday. Too expensive for what you get. I don’t think i’ll be back.

Kewpie Mayo: a little disappointing

Quick update: I tried a few dots of kewpie on my roasted asparagus. Very tasty. I'm feeling a bit more encouraged. I'm thinking breakfast tomorrow might be rice with an egg and a bit of sriracha/kewpie mixture.
