So yesterday I had another orgasm of Japanese foo... tempura udon and a some pretty good sushi. The horse mackerel and scallops were the best. The rice on the unagi wasn't formed very well which was disappointing and the toro wasn't worth the markup. What's funny is after I read "The Story of Sushi" I said I'd try to pay more attention to the way sushi chefs work. While I was too busy reading and eating yesterday to watch the prep I did notice what he said about the the chefs making smaller rice balls for different customers and if there is a big guy eating lunch (HELLO) give him a little more rice etc. That was kinda neat I think.

I am kinda scared to take pics at Jiro... apparently everybody goes in and eats in silence, in awe of Jiro's aura. It will be the quickest 3-star dining experience on earth.

I asked for a budget and they said "spend what you need."

Buzzwords like "farm-to-table," says Keller, don't even mean anything: “What restaurant isn’t farm to table? I think about quality, not geography.” And climate change? Not his problem: "The world’s governments should be worrying about carbon footprint."
