A new viral food trend in Los Angeles where adventurous men cruise around Figueroa between 69th and 74th street, hoping to invite a “street waitress” into their car for a customized “dish.”
Think of it as the drive-through dinning experience you never knew you needed, with a menu that’s… let’s say, a bit unconventional.
A portmanteau of "omakase" (the frequently pricey chef's-choice option) and "kamikaze" (the suicidal pilot), referring to a diner who spends far beyond their means ordering the tasting menu, especially at a sushi restaurant, thereby blowing up their finances.
Kip: Hah, Mark took that gal JoAnn out to sushi last night and she talked him into the tasting menu and a $200 bottle of sake—total omakaze mission, he's completely tapped out.
Maureen: Oh my goodness. I do hope that she expressed her appreciation in an appropriate manner, at least.
