At the rate I’m going, I’ll finish recapping this seven day trip in the year 2028.

On our fifth day in Tokyo, things took a turn for the hungry. Man can not live on noodles alone. And by man I mean woman. And by woman I mean me. I was hankering for an American meal something fierce.

I’m sure we did stuff during the day. Probably saw a shrine or too. But I don’t really remember. Because all that matters from day 5 is the hamburgers we ate that evening. The best damn hamburgers of our lives.

After scanning Yelp and identifying a place where we were most likely to find a good ol’ fashion grease feast, tt took us a good two hours to Google Map our way to the restaurant “Authentic” located in a residential back ally. And we were the only customers. Maybe all day? It’s a red flag that under normal circumstances would prevent us from dining in this establishment. But these were not normal circumstances. I was 30 minutes from death and or killing Stephen from hangriness.

So we sat down in Authentic and ordered our burgers, expecting the worst. What we got was, I kid you not, the juiciest, most flavorful patty, sandwiched between crisp lettuce, sweet tomato, and two pillow-like buns. I think I licked the plate.

My will to live restored, we headed back out into the city on a hunt to find Godzilla in Shinjuku.
