Eat one long street a bite at a time
“Ordering one small thing and eating it by yourself, then doing it again two doors down, feels conspicuous the first three times. After that the street stops being a set of strangers.”
The Recipe
- Pick the longest food street near you: the one packed with places you've never chosen between.
- Start at one end and walk the whole thing once first, choosing nothing yet.
- Go back to the start and enter the first place that made you curious.
- Order one small thing, the house thing if they have one, and eat it there.
- Move to the next place that pulls you and do it again: one bite, not a meal.
- Talk to whoever serves you at least once; ask what you should have got instead.
- Keep going down the street until you're genuinely full, not until you run out of places.
- Sit somewhere at the end and write down the best single bite of the day.
