Kenny and I have been frequenting Kenka Restaurant in the E. Vill.
The kitchen serves turkey testicles and bull penises, so we are able to get exactly what we wanted.
They have a strict, “No masturbation,” rule at the venue, which we may have wrongly guessed to be an unspoken rule in the general restaurant policy. They have a ridiculous menu of about 100 different items, and we have tried all of them. Okonomiyaki, (cabbage-and-egg pancake) is delicious, the Ramen is good, and they have $1.50 pints of Sapporo and Kirin. That’s pretty much ridiculous. $1.50 pints of import beer. Who’d have thunk?
Ridiculous.
Kenny’s favorite is perhaps the fried squid with his beer or the delicious fried chicken.
My favorite is THE CURRY CHALLENGE.
Eat a giant plate of curry, with 2 lbs of white rice, and 2 lbs of meat in 20 minutes or less, and receive a free t-shirt and the meal for free.
Fail, and you are out $25 bucks plus tip.
Leah and Kenny as my witnesses, I did it in 18:00. Kobayashi, you are next. Who can’t eat 61 Nathan hotdogs or 91 WhiteCastle burgers?
