Notorious Fast Food Feuds
The fast food industry is cutthroat—notoriously so. It doesn't take too much to see why fast food is such a competitive industry. There's only so many areas that a chain can branch out to, and there's only so many people you can reach. Consumer bases switch, overlap, and everyone is basically fighting trying to keep the customers they have while also trying to grab for territory.

Best Grilled Desserts Made With Fruit
Summertime is here, and that means it's grilling season. For most people, a grilling cookout means that you will end up with savory meals like steak, burgers, hot dogs, or shish kebabs. But, desserts on the grill? Well, they tend to take a backseat — if people even think about them at all.

Yaki
When I close my eyes I can smell the sea, but I don't know what sea it might be, as I have seen and touched many parts of the ocean so far. I think anybody can do that. They can close their eyes and see flashes of the life that they've lived up to their own point of currently living. For me, a multitude of different things come. There's the feeling of cold glass against my forehead as I take an evening train into Tokyo or there is the smell of Naraha immediately after it has rained for days on end and a crisp bright light blue floods the sky with a new sun and starts to dry everything. It feels so good to walk on the street then and breathe in perfect fresh air coming from millions of trees. There also is the smell of sweet teriyaki sauce poured over fried ramen noodles during a hot humid day. When I arrived in Japan in the summer of 2009, this was a common occurrence and there were numerous summer parties that I was able to attend. They all took place in the late afternoon around a hot grill sizzling with yaki soba noodles. "Yaki" is "fried" in Japanese and everything becomes so in late July in Japan. The humidity pours over the land and fries everything, but also keeps it wet. It would be wrong to say that the air steams everything as this would be different and Yaki soba would instead be called "Jouki Soba" or steamed soba, which is not really a thing to my knowledge. That is not to say that soba is only served hot as my preference in the summer is when soba is prepared cold, but in this case, the noodle is boiled, but not steamed. I was able to see how this dish was made traditionally later in my travels, but that part of the story will be explained later.
