All Hail the Sauce Fantastic!

As a journalist thrust into the world of multimedia reporting, retorting, and all the goods involved, I start to wonder: where do we find the nourishment?

Of course, someone born and raised in the cultural melting pot that is Southern California, one does take in quite a juxtaposition of cuisines e.g. Korean tacos, chicken and waffles, teriyaki and donuts - all in the convenience from hole-in-the wall establishments, roach coaches, and ex-Taco Bells.

I realized, one hearty dish has stuck by my side all my 23 years like a loyal (and saucy) best friend: teriyaki. Although not a cultural mish-mash, the dish has taken on many a form since its American debut.

Ah yes, the sweet, syrupy glaze that covers that broiled bird or beast magically complements a steamy serving of white rice. It's protein. It's carbs. It's good.

This will be a task for myself and anyone just as daring to travel far and wide - local and mobile - for that savoury combination of brown and white, and report back to the masses. This of course includes the hole-in-the-walls, the roach coaches, and the ex-Taco Bells, as well as the traditional Japanese eateries here and there.

In the name of The 'Yaki, wish us luck!
