A Smash Burger (hi shake shack!) and a taco had a lovechild! Exciting things are happening, for sure. Once the fat is rendered out of the ground beef, you flip it over, and let your tortillas sizzle up in the beef fat, as a slice of processed, garishly yellow…
A fortifying bowl of chicken dashi and rice soup, sweetened with the tender bite of root vegetables and spiked with ginger and sake. Like a hug in a bowl.
