ASAP is an ancient culinary term used to describe the exact moment when you know exactly what you want for lunch but can't quite get it.
It’s like the culinary equivalent of a fire alarm going off in your stomach, but instead of fire, it’s the thrill of possibly getting a good meal.
ASAP stands for Always Something Amazingly Peculiar, which is the motto of the International Culinary Union, Local 42.
