This weekend we took a trip into Tokyo to run some errands and we visited the newly reopened Wendy's in Omotesando.  There used to be about a hundred Wendy's in Japan but a few years ago the Japanese company who operated them closed them all down. 

But now they are back, and the new company who operates them is planning to open them all back up!  Woo-hoo!  In general, missing American restaurants that we used to frequent is one of the top three worst things about being here, in my opinion.  There are times when thinking about a particular item on a particular restaurant's menu can really get me down.  And we didn't even eat out all the time in the US---I cooked a good bit.  Something to think about if you are ever contemplating moving to a foreign country.  But now we can add Frostys to the list of things we can obtain here and boy, let me tell you, were they good.

When we were researching exactly where the new Wendy's was, Chad ran across this short video from some fellow expats, who, by their excellent choice of words, must also hail from the southern region of the US:



Yes, the foie gras burger is for real, it's a gimmick Wendy's has introduced here.  I think it may also have truffles on it.  Needless to say, we stuck to the standards.  And, at the end our our meal, I got my picture taken with.....Japanese Wendy!  :D
