Taiyaki - a fish shaped thing made of pancake batter with red bean paste inside.
After discovering these at a stand in Japantown I ingested way too many of them.
They are incredible.

I'm very proud of my association with NEWSREADERS, which premieres this THURSDAY (1/17/13) at midnight on Adult Swim.
hero-newsreaders-premiere-2
The seed of Newsreaders actually began with our movie The Ten, which featured Mather Zickel as reporter Louis LaFonda.
Then in our 2nd season of Childrens Hospital, we did a "behind the scenes" episode in the form of a news report, anchored by Louis LaFonda, as part of a fictional series, "Newsreaders."
That episode ("The End of the Middle"), became a fan favorite and we reprised the "Newsreaders" format again in seasons 3 and 4 of Childrens Hospital.
And now Newsreaders is a show of its own, taking on all manner of dumb and funny topics, still anchored by Mather Zickel as Louis LaFonda, along with a truly amazing cast of other correspondents.
I hope you'll spread the word and check it out! Let me know what you think.
Oh, and PS - you can see the first episode RIGHT NOW at AdultSwim.com or YouTube.
UPDATE: Great interview with Mather Zickel in the New York Times
