The spaghetti on a hot dog bun was one of his first forays, when he was more overtly “neo” Japanese. (He still swills Coke and uses ketchup as an ingredient, I assume for equal parts showmanship, taste and to honk off the Samurai contingent of Japanese traditionalists who are torqued off at him.)

What the hell, it’s still great fun and a much greater culinary eye-opener than most of the Food Network pap. But I’d still love seeing Emeril and Martha (Android) Stewart faced with “Chairman Kaga” and his glitter duds.

That’s it. ‘Children’s Day’.

The other guy’s presentation was better than his, I think. Less mega-bizarre, and yet more visually interesting.
