One of my favorite foods on the planet is sushi–and not just the pansy kind like California rolls, either. I got introduced to it at a young age because my mother used to work at a Japanese steakhouse. As a result, my love for fresh, happy sashimi sitting on top of a clump of sushi rice is undying. There was actually a time during my childhood when I wanted to grow up to be a sushi chef. It was that bad (or good, depending on how you look at it). Toss in some soy sauce and eye-watering, nasal-sinuses-clearing wasabi and I could just die and go to heaven right there on the spot.
By the way, my regular sushi place is Kabuto Japanese Steakhouse in Pineville, NC. Their sashimi is EXTREMELY fresh and happy.
So now that I’m done gushing about food, please do take a moment to gush about one of your favorite foods in the comments section.

Uhh I love California Roll. But wasabi is over my head.
Ok, NC barbeque. (well, since you took sushi, I’ll take something else) If you’re ever in Wilson, NC, you need to check out Bill’s Barbeque. It’s awesome. Eastern NC style, nice and spicy, great hush puppies! My wife’s parents live near there, and we get some every time we visit!
And wasabi rocks! Tuna roll, oh yeah!
Wait, what about their cole slaw?
Yeah, I’m with Stephen. Personally, I love California Rolls. I wouldn’t really eat them over anything else but they’re still pretty tasty. Me and Phuong are making California Rolls tomorrow night…I should take pictures (wish I had the kind of resolution you have). (:
Wasabi. Blech. Same with pickled Ginger. Nasty. :<
You have just spoken blasphemy in my presence, sir. I don’t think we can talk anymore.
Seriously, though, sushi’s fun to make. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m too lazy to roll it anymore, though. I just mix my rice with vinegar flavoring and toss all the stuff together in a bowl. Laziness ftw.
