okonomiyaki-assess best versions

[Eden]

There are plenty of recipes for it online. Re restaurant versions---they seem to vary widely in quality. It's one of my plans to find and try all the okonomiyakis in Seattle.

I've never had it from its source, so I don't know if I can judge or not.... I've had it twice in Seattle. Once at Boom noodle - it serrano peppers, which I just don't equate as a typical Japanese ingredient.... and once at a smaller place called I Bacchus (it really is Japanese, they just didn't change the name from the previous restaruant). Both were rich, oily and topped with a bit of mayo (not my favorite thing).

Right--it was the Boom Noodle version that got a not-great review. A Japanese friend told me that Kushibar's was good: http://kushibar.com/small%20plates.html
