FUN FACT: Morita once asked Foxx for a $3,500 loan as part of the downpayment on a home that he was trying to purchase for his expanding family. Foxx wrote Morita out a check for that amount, however, rather than have Morita pay back the loan, Foxx's only condition was that he wanted Morita to pay it forward to someone else who was in need when he was in a position to help out. This story came from Morita himself. This goes to show what a generous man Foxx was when it came to helping others out.

It gives a certain consistency to their rice dishes that Americans (pretty generically) weren't used to back then. I've had "Chicken and Rice" at cookouts that was f'ing delicious... 10/10.
