Post #219,454 by Andrew Grygus 8/15/05 9:08:41 PM Reply	Oh, I don't doubt it's very fine sushi. Of course in Los Angeles a sushi bar isn't just about food, it's food and entertainment. Pricing and quality must match the venue, of course, but much of success depends on the personality of the sushi chef(s). Down the street a ways we had a super-popular sushi bar with a real cut-up of a chef. Unfortunately he ran off to Alaska with his Mexican dish washer leaving his wife holding the restaurant. She's still running it and it's doing well again but it was touch and go for a year or two. Also famous on this side of the hill is the "Sushi Nazi". You sit down and he plunks a board in front of you and serves you sushi - what he's serving that day and in whatever order he's serving it, and everyone exactly the same. The only input you get is when to stop. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

Post #219,485 by Andrew Grygus 8/16/05 1:29:49 AM Reply	No Grouper? OK, but if it were Mackerel that'd really hurt, or Uni (soft orange sex organs of sea urchen, raw), or Salmon Eggs, or raw squid, or Quail Egg (raw, of course), or Giant Clam, or Toro, or raw Shrimp, or Octopus - that'd hurt. Grouper I can live without, at least for a year. A few years back the Wall Street Journal did a write-up of the newly established Uni industry in New England. This industry was launched due to limits on sea urchen harvesting in California. The Journo was show production lines where local ladies shucked the urchens and arranged their reproductive parts into little wooden trays for shipment to California and Japan. The production manager offered a tray and asked the Journo if he'd like a sample. The Journo, a good California boy, said, "Sure", picked up a hunk and popped it in his mouth, then another. Production skidded to a halt as one of the ladies stood up and shrieked in horror, "He's eating it! He's eating it!". [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

There's a character known as the Soup Nazi... if you do something in his store that he doesn't like (such as looking at him, or saying something innocuous) he sends you to the back of the line, or shouts "No soup for you, one year!". Since the soup is so good, this is a terrible punishment. Grouper was the fish that popped into my mind that rhymes with "soup". Figured you would have known since you called him the Sushi Nazi.

When you walk in move immediately to the right 2. Order your soup with no enthusiasm at all 3. Put your money on the counter and move to your left 4. Take your soup and do not give any comments Cheers, Scott.
