Let's Do Something New!

I thought I had tasted everything, but recently when I was in downtown Los angeles, on my way to an audition, my hunger forced me to stop my car for food.  I ran into a place that would not ALLOW take-out. As I looked around I realized that I was surrounded by “Little Tokyo” and the only place open was this cute hole- in- the -wall -totally authentic tokyo diner. (is there such a thing?) My instinct was to get back in the car and find a nice fast unhealthy fast food drive -thru. Yet, I had never tried authentic Tokyo food, and this was the year of doing NEW things so…

I sat down, met a girl who also was in a hurry to eat but could not order it “to go”, and the two of us were forced to sit together at the food bar, and order the  ”Tokyo lunch special”.  The best part of this was that I got the chance to meet this really cool girl, and exchange philosophies about life, metaphysics, spirituality, and of course, the concerning escapades of Tiger Woods, all over raw fish and a soup that still remains a mystery.

So for YOUR new thing, forget take -out food, and sit at an authentic restaurant that is in a place like “Little Tokyo”  (or a japanese place that seems VERY authentic)  and order whatever they recommend as the “special”!!

I admit, McDonalds would have been the safer bet, and saved me a little more time, but, the only reason I did this one was because I am committed to —TRYING SOMETHING NEW!!!!!! I encourage you to do the same!! (not to mention I now have a really cool new friend!)
