That sushi do’s and don’ts from a few days ago reminded me of this sushi series that came out a while back. I thought they were pretty interesting. And if there is one thing your friends will appreciate, it’s you analyzing the chef’s body hair next time you go out for soosh.
You may notice that sushi chefs usually do not have hair on their arms. Every piece of sushi has to be produced from clean plain looking hands and arms. Chefs, I think, shave every day, unless there is some kind of industry-secret to deal with it.
Note that I linked to the last article in the five part series. The geniuses at Bayosphere don’t link to the subsequent articles from part one, so you need to use five as a home base. What the hell is a “bayosphere,” anyway?
Bayosphere was a short-lived ‘community blog’ for the San Francisco Bay Area started by former San Jose Mercury News tech columnist Dan Gillmor, with money from his venture capital friends Mitch Kapor and Pierre Omidyar. It never really got off the ground (instead of focusing on local issues, it generally devolved into Kos-like rantings about the Bush administration). It was purchased by Reston’s Backfence, and now focuses on Palo Alto news and views.
This series on “How to eat sushi” was written by Dan’s siginficant other, and was actually the most popular piece on the site (probably still is).
It never really got off the ground (instead of focusing on local issues, it generally devolved into Kos-like rantings about the Bush administration).
Which is precisely why we are so heavy-handed with such topics and comments around here!
Found out that this actually is part of an EIGHT part series!
What fun is eating when you have to think about it so much?
Good work, JP!
Now I get to spend more time reading about it that eating it.:roll:
