I used to live in a tiny fishing village in Japan called Minamiise. On my first fishing trip there, my friends and I caught a few months’ worth of mackerel, which was the best fish I’ve ever had. I was one of two English speakers in the whole town, but food was a universal language.

Growing up a picky eater, I had a college girlfriend who delighted in introducing me to new foods. After visiting Zingerman’s Deli, she made a pastrami sandwich on rye with asparagus and a spicy Dijon mustard. On the first bite, my eyes closed, overwhelmed — it was the best sandwich I’ve ever had, and I’ve never wanted to eat it again.
