Demeyere vs Wolfgang Puck cookware
i'm pretty sure the new puck tri-ply on costco is completely different from what you bought a few years ago from HSN.
costco has that great return policy too.
Demeyere vs Wolfgang Puck cookware

Fruit stands along the 91?

REVIEW: Maki-Zushi, Tustin
last time i ordered monkfish liver, i was told by a sushi chef that they are currently not in season and it is a bit dry. this was somewhere else though.
oh and i LOVE maki zushi!
Sushi - What are you ordering?
well i spent 90 buck per person after tax and tip. that included the sushi, one green tea ice cream order of 4 kumamoto and 3 large kirin beers(180 total for both of us).
when he started off the meal with the kama toro, he didnt mention what it was at all. if i didnt ask him later, i dont think i would have really even known. i just assumed that it couldnt be kama toro. when i asked him he told me that it was and then i asked for another piece. :)
kin-san tells me that he usually gets his fresh fish on thur or friday. i went on saturday and i got the first slice off his slab.
Place for some good late night ice cream?
Hey just wondering if there's anywhere u guys would recommend for ice cream after 10pm somewhere near melrose/hollywoodish/la/ktown area.
thanks
Sushi - What are you ordering?

a little traditional japanese gem in walnut/diamond bar called Jubei. I ordered the omakase there last night and i was treated with the first and fourth slice of his kama toro. mmmmmm
