Sushi
This is sort of quick two for one entry…
I ran across this very interesting If You Knew Sushi article a couple of days ago. If you have anything more than a casual interest in sushi you'll likely find this to be a very interesting (and very long) article. And from the article, it makes me really want a copy of The Sushi Economy: Globalization and the Making of a Modern Delicacy…you should buy this for me…and/or something else from my Amazon Wish List. ;)
And on a sushi related note, my wife and I went to dinner last weekend at the very good Japanese restaurant Wasabi in Williamsville. Prices are reasonable and the food was fantastic. Check it out if you're in the mood.
