I've actually been pleasantly surprised by the quality of Pasta in Japan

You CAN have healthy pasta, depending on the sauce and obviously the ingredients added (as well as oil used). The noodles themselves, of course, are simply carbohydrates. A pasta dish made with healthy ingredients is by FAR healthier than a hamburger.

Anyway, would love to go there and eat a few dishes.

looks like he burnt it.

pasta and hamburgers are both bad for health. fruits and veggies are good for health.

They can't be any worse than those "noodle hot dogs" you find in the conbinis here.

While that's true, a quick check on their official site shows that most of these chefs are seemingly of Italian decent.

Which begs the question of whether not this is largely a contest of the Italian diaspora.

Anyhow, good luck to Yamada-san!

@calr751: uh? I think it's still healthier than a hamburger. ;) Also, you don't need to eat pasta every day.

Is there alcohol in his pasta recipe? That's one big flame.
