Aren’t We Getting Too Old for this Sort of Thing?
Last night we took our friend Ted out to dinner. I know, I know, his birthday was in June and although we already went out once for his birthday the guy is so special we went out with him again. The place he chose was a small sushi restaurant, Kats Sushi.
They have all-you-can-eat-sushi for a very reasonable price (a little over $20/person) but there are some rules involved. First, only once order per person at a time (but that one person can order for the whole table) and second, you need to eat everything (including the rice). Anything not eaten will be charged to you. And, of course, being the competitive guys we are, we had to see who could eat the most sushi. So what did we eat? I’ll let the pictures show you.
Round 1: maguro, hamachi, sake and unagi
Round 1 concluded: hotategai rolls
Here’s the birthday boy enjoying another piece of sushi
Here are the first two to drop
John was the first on the Japanese side to drop out
Round 4: maguro and sake
The last two standing
Final counts:
Ted: 19 pieces of nigiri and 9 rolls
Scott: 19/8
John: 16/8
Mike W: 14/8
Mike K: 14/7
My impression of the sushi was okay. It wasn’t the best or worst I’ve ever eaten. The fish was good but the rice seemed a little mushy and heavily packed. It also tasted to heavily of vinegar for my liking. Plus, they make you order only one at a time and the night we went there was only one sushi chef so sometimes we had to wait a good 5-7 minutes before the next order appeared. When you’re trying to eat as much as you possibly can those precious minutes only help you to get full. Of course for $20 it was a good deal and I would definitely eat there again.

so sad that the littlest japanese guy smokes all of you time and time again. Looks like you guys had fun and I'm so glad I didn't go…those pictures of endless sushi kind of reinforced that. So funny. Love reading your blog. Keep it up =)
I think the count should be 19 and 9 for ted 19 and 8 for you, i thought it was one order of saba nigiri which would make you guys getting one extra piece of sushi not two pieces.
Wow you guys are hard core. I'm impressed. Looked like you had a great time.
duly noted john-john. i have made the correction.
Dollar per pound, that was a good deal…..haha! 🙂
