Word of the Day: Greasy Spoon
It seems that people may be moving away from the Michelin-starred restaurants and back to the greasy spoon eateries.
These eateries are small local restaurants that usually serve fried food.
In Japan, there has been a growing B-gourmet boom for quite a few years now.
As a university student, I would enjoy going to a greasy spoon restaurant for breakfast once a month when I had a day off.
As a university student, I had one day off a month.
I worked full-time, studied full-time and only took one day off per month.
It was hell for six years, but I graduated debt-free and never had the hassle and burden of student loans.
Here I go, rambling again.
Anyway, in Japan, the little udon, Hiroshima yaki, yakitori, and kushikatsu shops all qualify as greasy spoon restaurants.
You can go in, sit down and get a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs meal for a low price.
Some of the best things in life are simple.
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
