It takes years of eating
sushi before you start to realize the difference between excellent
sushi, good sushi, mediocre sushi and bad sushi. The sushi you get
in the plastic containers at the supermarket is most definitely bad
sushi (unless you're buying it from a market in Osaka). Generally
if you're eating at a place that is frequented by celebs and rich
folks, the sushi will be excellent (or at least it should be). If
you're going to a Japanese restaurant that has tons of television
sets all over the walls so the neighborhood twenty-two-year-olds can
watch football on Sunday, you're more likely than not going to end
up with something on the lower end of the spectrum (somewhere in the
mediocre to bad range). We're not sure the whole sushi/sports bar
thing is such a good idea. So goes the situation at the less-than-cleanly
Sushi Generation. The night we joined the festivities, there were
none. Not only was the joint practically empty (despite there being
a Yanks game on), there were soy sauce splatters on the table, the
stools, the menu and the floor. The staff stood around in a coma-like
daze not wiping, not taking our order and not really looking like
they cared we were actually patronizing their establishment. Apparently
everyone was too busy that night being part of the "me generation"
to jump on this bandwagon. [MF]
