The Next Big Thing in Pizza

I was floored when I first learned about okonomiyaki. Both because of how delicious it looked, and because I couldn't believe this has not caught on in the U.S. (at least not that I'm aware of).

In the land of McGriddle sandwiches (eggs, cheese, and meat packed between two "maple-syrup" flavored pancakes - look for the golden arches), this would seem to be the perfect evolution of pizza. Basically, this Japanese "fast food" consists of a large pancake (or fry bread?) piled high with whatever the heck you want.

When okonomiyaki joints start popping up on every corner, remember, you read about it here first.

Now go eat something weird.
