The Greater Burger Blog

      Hi there! :) Me and my friends gave a presentation on a poem called "Ode to Pork" by Kevin Young. Here are the slides.

Nestled in the heart of Tokyo, Kua'Aina brings a taste of the Hawaiian Islands to burger enthusiasts, promising a delightful fusion of tropical flavors and classic American comfort food. As a burger aficionado, I recently had the pleasure of experiencing what this Hawaiian-inspired establishment has to offer. Ambiance: The moment you step into Kua'Aina, the warm and inviting atmosphere transports you to a beachside shack in Hawaii. The rustic wooden décor, surfboards adorning the walls, and laid-back vibe create a casual and friendly setting. It's the perfect spot for a relaxed lunch with friends or a family dinner.

     On the 2nd week of our food seminar (October 12), we had a potluck picnic at Yoyogi park; a large and famous park in Japan that is moderately close to our university. Some of the food we had included KFC, tortilla chips and guacamole, lasagna, apple pie, and much more!  Our professor happened to be vegan so most of the food featured was vegan.

I am currently in the middle of reading  Food Americana  by David Page. It explains the history of all the different foods that are currently considered American food. Though I've only read about a third of the book, it has already succeeded in grasping my full attention. I am from the U.S. but I've never really thought about the origins of the foods of my country. This book explains every single detail so I recommend it even if you are not from the U.S.     

 Hey there! Thanks for traveling all the way here. :) I am a university student who will be reporting on all sorts of burger shops that are in Japan. Hope you enjoy my feedback and I would be thrilled if this blog got you to go to any of these restaurants mentioned.   Till next time!
