Some Favorite Restaurants/Foods from the US in Japan

When you live in Japan for a significant point in time and are a foreigner, you might eventually start to lose interest in Japanese food.  Or more to the point, you start to seriously crave your home country's food.  In my case, I miss American food.  Heck, whenever I go back to LA, I tend to pig out.  It's terrible in that I lose all the benefits of working out and my so-called "better diet" the second I land in LA!

That said, I'm always hunting for places that I enjoy from America in Tokyo.  My friend had pointed out the other day that California Pizza Kitchen has a restaurant in Kawasaki, so I decided to check out the website.  I was pretty surprised to find more than one in Tokyo.  But that lead me to look at a few other spots:

Burger King - Locations: Akihabara, Oimachi, Sugamo, Kanda, Ikebukuro, Shinjuku (West Side)
California Pizza Kitchen - Yokohama, Kawasaki and Suidobashi (next to the Tokyo Dome)
Krispy Kreme Donuts - Shinjuku, Yurakucho, Kawaguchi (Saitama), Tachikawa, Minami Funabashi (Chiba), Shibuya

Well, I'm hoping one day that they'll open In 'n' Out, IHOP, Del Taco, Carl's Jr and Jamba Juice as well out here.  I think with those spots in addition to the aforementioned restaurants and other existing places like Subway (they just need the meatball sandwich!!!!), I can survive out here a little longer :)
