GINZA STEAK - JAPAN
This was one of the top five meals of my life if not the best meal of my life. Incredible dining experience with the best steak ever.

Some people have cracked open and eaten a can of Spam long past its due date with no ill effects. We know a sealed can of Spam can last up to 5 years on the shelf, but...
What Netflix’s The Night Agent Changed About Matthew Quirk’s Book
This post contains spoilers for "The Night Agent," the novel and the TV series.Before "The Night Agent" arrived on Netflix, it was sitting on shelves at Barnes & Noble.
