vanae’s tip of the dae: sushi
never buy pre-made sushi from markets or grocery stores (mollie stone’s, safeway, etc). what do they know about sushi? apparently nothing…especially if they’re mexican.
i’ve been craving for sushi so during lunch today, desperate-me reached for the sushi at the grocery market. not only did it not satisfy my hunger, but the quality of the ingredients weren’t great.
yes, sushi at markets are cheap and accessible. but you get what you pay for. so lessson learned. only get sushi from sushi restaurants.
what do you think? share your sushi experience.
ps- i’m kidding about the mexican part. most great restaurants in the bay area have mexican /chefs.

You racist
The one exception for the “grocery store sushi rule” is Whole Food. Sure it’s 2x the price, but that shit’s worth it! mmmm….
I just had sushi at a ’sushi’ restaurant that I love and when I went to the bathroom I had to walk through the kitchen and everybody there was mexican and speaking spanish…just like every other restaurant, regardless of what culture the recipes come from. Im begining to think that immigrants are the only people who even know how to cook in america
I know a place that will rock your socks when they aren’t even on your feet. it will leave you satisfied and craving more endless nights of raw fish bliss..
Daimaru Sushi in San Francisco is the best.
How do you know they don’t have Mexicans working in the backroom of a sushi restaurant?
I love sushi too (maki sushi, nigiri sushi and so on), and sometimes I’ve tried to make it by myself (with medium success). But the most important on Sushi is not WHO makes it but HOW cooks it… You don’t need to be japanese for make a good sushi. Even mexicans can do it… well (I was joking too, of course).
