What disturbs me more than ridiculously expensive food is bad ridiculously expensive food.
On a "tip" we stopped in at a place that was supposed to have good sushi. The difference between a good hamburger and a bad hamburger may not be such a big deal. The difference between good sushi and bad sushi is definitely a big deal.
So today, we will work together as a blog community and establish some general, common sense food rules applicable to sushi.
SUSHI RULES (avoid eating sushi, at all costs, if . . .)
1. You can’t see the sushi chef’ making the sushi.
2. The restaurant looks like the fast food joint in the front of a Walmart
3. The waiter says something like "finally we’ll get rid of that stinky piece of fish."
4. The plate of sushi comes with a side of antibiotics.
Your turn . . .

- Wasabi is recommended to "take care of the little bugs we might have missed".

1. You hear the manager talking on the phone to a disgruntled customer say, "I don’t care if our food made you sick. So "sushi" me."
2. You hear the cook ask the manager, "Where are those "Fish Filets" we ordered from Mickey D’s."
3. The waiter tells you, "What did you expect Mr. Wray – the Malibu Fish Market?"

The sign out front says, "Cut-bait, worms, crickets, and sushi"I know you have the doctoral degree and I don’t but it may help if I just point out something from a linguistic perspective: the words "good" and "sushi" are an oxymoron! That’s the basic problem here.Glad I could help!

what are you doing eating sushi in Las Vegas? You have the opportunity to eat at Bobby Flay’s, Emerils Delmonico Steak House and a variety of other places that you can only find in Vegas. What may I ask is wrong with you?????Sandy

Sandy, that’s exactly the point! It’s what happens when us men try to be sensitive and make communal decisions. It’s a failure of leadership!

Sandy makes a great point. I wouldn’t "steak" my life on sushi in Vegas or in West Cocoa.

- The sushi chef’s name is Vinnie.- You’re surrounded by miles & miles of desert.

I was wrong, Randy, and big enough a man to admit it. You actually can use the words "good" and "sushi" in the same sentence. Ex: The only good sushi is deep fried. Or, "The only good sushi is ruined sushi," but that would be redundant.

1. The chef asks you if you want it medium or well-done.2. The paper placemats are full of ads for emergency hospital treatment.3. The toothpicks are fresher than the fish.

My input is thus: Don’t eat sushi at all! Stick with the hamburger…………….

P.S. – Go to Emeril’s and eat something Italian……………just for me!

Mmmmmmmmm….sushi. Now I can’t decide if I still want the burger and onion rings.

As Alan Jackson sings, “I buy my clothes at Walmart and I like my Sushi southern fried.”
Have you heard about the new sushi bar that caters exclusively to lawyers? It’s called, Sosumi.
Peace.
