Sometimes I get commands from the puppetmasters while at work and rise from my seat, walk out of the building with a jerky gait and a blank look on my face, not responding to questioning co-workers, not really aware of what I am doing until I am in line for food somewhere. Recently, they made me drive to the Roseville Byerly's for some sushi in a box. Try this for lunch some time to pop you out of your lunch rut. No waiting to speak of, even at the lunch hour rush. There are sushi guys behind the counter making the stuff. You can order a custom job from them or just grab one of the plastic trays from the display case in front. There is a decent sized lunch for about $5.00 and an especially decent sized lunch for about $9.00. The puppetmasters insisted that I get the $9 box. They like to see me treat myself right. This sushi tastes less fresh than the stuff at a fancy sushi restaurant, but the convenience makes up for that and it still tastes damn good. I think it is a little expensive for the amount of food you get, but that is the way of sushi in this country. That Byerly's has a crappy little eating area right near the bathrooms and near a door that lets cold drafts in every so often. Eating sushi so close to a bathroom smashed any delicate presentation they may have had going on, but I forgot about that incongruity as soon as the cells on the inside of my mouth came into contact with the wasabi. Other Byerlys I have eaten at have much better dining areas. The sushi at Byerly's and Lunds comes from Hissho sushi, a national chain that supplies restaurants with sushi. 1:53:49 PM    comment []
