helpful: For those of us who are sick of those packets of honey-roasted peanuts, or, even worse, those sad little
hard-breadrolls-with-tired-ham that are always served on planes, Conde Nast Traveler is featuring a recipe for your own delicious in-flight
meal. The magazine challenged Gene Kato of the Chicago restaurant Japonais to create the perfect
in-flight meal. The requirements? The dish had to be spoil-proof for at least three hours, leakproof, and
non-odiferous.
Kato came up with Miso-Glazed-Fried Chicken with Japanese
Truffled Soybean Salad, saying "When I was a kid and we went on trips, my mom would put this in my bento
box. It’s like being on a picnic." Admittedly, the photograph makes the meal look delicious, but I’m
sorry, take a look at this
recipe. Between packing and last-minute runs to the pharmacy to pick up incidentals, who the hell would have
the time?
