My mother says about frying things-you are married to the stove-don’t walk away. An open flame is next level up from that.

Observance of the fire is key to success in all aspects of life

This is why I live in Japan. Yakitori done over a charcoal fire is one of the most delicious, mesmerizing and affordable luxuries one can ever experience. Although, as a permanent expat, I will never divulge where my favorite places are for fear of the instagram locusts whom are unworthy of such perfection to experience. One must search this perfection out via trial and error (as your article outlines) to truly understand why fire, salt & meat (and also certain vegetables) are such transcendental comforts. Now I’m hungry 🤤
