I can and I did. I pronounce the word "ponko." Ha ha, Alton Brown used
to have a boyish face. Now his face is best described as "severe."

Sounds good to me. I don't do anything creative with panko - I just
bread stuff and fry it. Kinda boring actually. Hawaii probably uses more
panko than any other state in the union. We need a lot of it because our
favorite dish is chicken katsu. If you eat chicken katsu, you need
tonkatsu sauce. We probably consume more tonkatsu sauce than any other
state in the union too. My guess is that tonkatsu sauce is similar to HP
sauce except it's sweeter.

My guess is that one day, the mainland will discover chicken katsu and
it's gonna take over the chicken frying business.
