A Week Of Birphday Eats

[tom b]

Lots a killer food, Happy Birthday bro!

 

[Whisky]

Damn, wow. All looks great, but for me, the sashimi is next level!

 

[Tat-que]

Happy Belated Birthday !! That all looks soooo good!

Am i in the minority if i mention i love raw salmon sushi, but i cringed looking at that tuna and salmon photo? What is that, raw fish in a puddle of soy sauce?



Everything else looks great.

What Bill said. And I can guarantee there is no soy sauce anywhere on those two cringy dishes. :biggrin1:

Huge sushi fan and I don't mean rolls but ultra high end omakase sessions from Michelin star Japanese sushi chefs so soy sauce has no place in sushi.

Uni is up there for me

Well, that is certainly a step above gas station sushi (although I've never encountered that in any convenience store that I've ever been in). I know I'm living a sheltered life here in the land of Milk and Honey. While we do have a small handful of restaurants that feature sushi, I've never seen dishes like you have posted. I guess I need to get out more. Was in Vegas last year at a conference a a vendor took about 8 of us to a really nice sushi restaurant in the Cosmopolitan. None of us knew how to order and vendor asked the server to bring us a good representation of their special items. Took over two hours and oddly, a salad was served last. The bill before tip was $2400 and there wasn't much food placed on the table. We did have drinks. The vendor liked to have passed out. But the food was incredible.

Happy Birthday Sako, you are rollin' like royalty.

Thanks Robert! I bet.

Honestly you can go broke going to these small and hidden top notch sushi places. Almost all are omakase (leaving it up to the chef) and in a single night they don't serve more than 10-15 people. Insanely fresh, exotic and high quality seafood from both coasts and Japan. Like Hokkaido hairy crab from Japan. One night we got served one and the chef said that if you can find another place in LA that serves this crab now, the tab is one me. Usually 10-14 small courses enjoyed in about 2 hours but so satisfying. Hefty tab too at 1400 for 4 people and you're lucky to get in there. Before Bidenomics, the annual cost of the high end sushi among a few of us friends was $30-40K. :tape: The good old days. Waiting on the next administration. :heh:

We almost exclusively stopped getting sushi because of fear of getting mercury poisoning. :laugh:

 

[Happy Hapgood]
