STIR FRY DADDY

Many cultures have odd and sometimes dangerous rituals
whereby young men are required to prove their manhood,
but none is more odd or potentially scarring than that
of a community of Japanese-Americans in the Southwest.
The practice began in the 1920s, when the sons of Japanese
immigrants in Phoenix were teased about their masculinity
by the local teenaged boys. Eager to prove their toughness,
the young Japanese men began undertaking the toughest ritual
they could devise: frying bacon while naked.
