OK, Here we go..... I think it only fair to start with this photo as this trip to Tokyo, and the inspiration of these two guys with me in the photo, really kicked off my interest in exploring food, photographing said eats, and sharing/explaining my impressions of my experiences. So, to you David Chang and Anthony Bourdain, Cheers, and thanks. As I begin I think it only fair to explain a bit of what my purpose with this blog is. As you know, I do not participate in Facebook, and I wont go into why here, but I NEEDED a vehicle to communicate and connect with those in my life, both near and far. As the name implies, this will primarily be a blog about pizza. However, as this is mine, I will feel free to do and say as I damn well please, as it pleases me. So I hope to not offend or tiptoe too far over the line of appropriateness, but if I do, that's just too fucken bad. Enjoy. Pizza, food, life experiences, thoughts, feelings, rants, and more food. This is what you will find here. Please feel free to share and pass along to anyone you think might have an interest, as I hope you will as well. Sincerely yours, DVA

!!!WARNING!!! Killing and Eating Live Octopus!! Watch at your own risk!!!!

The warning is no shit.  

The scene of the crime, a Koren restaurant in Tokyo.

Accomplices, Evan McAvoy and Michiko Toi.

I've been wanting to do this for quite some time as a part of my quest to eat the weirdest stuff on the planet, and this was it, so far.

We went for dinner first, Korean BBQ, and lots of booze.  Here are photo of that:


Raw Spicy Crab



Kimchi


Pork, Wagu Beef, Beef Tongue






And then, after we were sufficiently buzzed I asked if I could go into the kitchen to watch and film the killing of the octopus, baby octopus. 

The videos are too large to upload to the blog, so here are the YouTube links...

Here you go, enjoy.....




And then we ate.....






No cooking, only sauce, if you prefer....
