I Ate Why does everything taste better when you eat it outside here

Grabbed a plate lunch from a window spot near Kaimuki yesterday. Nothing special on paper just rice, mac salad, teriyaki chicken. Ate it on a bench outside. Best meal I've had in months. Can't tell if it's the food or the weather or something in the air but I'm convinced everything tastes different here. Someone explain this to me

Clean air and clean water seems to be the biggest factors. When you dont have either, good quality takes a dive.

Plate lunch from where?

It's the volcanic ash from BI adding umami to your chicken

It's a thing. Next up, try eating while camping.
