johnb Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 A piece in today's Post about the sushi chef shortage. Pescado crudo anyone? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...7022202036.html Those Japanese, you gotta love 'em. I especially liked the part about how women can't be sushi chefs because their hands are too warm. Talk about a knee-slapper. It reminds one of the trade restrictions against American skis years ago. They couldn't be let into Japan because the "Japanese snow" was different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLB Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I still don't understand why this was on the front page this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdt Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 One D.C. sushi bar popular with visiting Japanese businessmen has a special code that waitresses can write on the order ticket to ensure that dishes for Japanese customers are prepared by a Japanese chef rather than one of the restaurant's six Central American chefs."Our non-Japanese chefs are okay," said the manager, who asked that his restaurant not be named for fear of offending American customers, "for the United States." Any guesses as to the identity of this place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedE Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Are you being sarcastic? I can't tell but I feel like this is pretty obvious... ??? I don't think Kappo has that big of a staff. Sushi Taro maybe? I guess it could be Sushi-Ko as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielK Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I still don't understand why this was on the front page this morning. Because there were no new developments on the Britney or Anna Nicole stories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPW Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Those Japanese, you gotta love 'em. I especially liked the part about how women can't be sushi chefs because their hands are too warm. Talk about a knee-slapper.They've obviously never met my wife. I thought it was a good article. I'd love to see more like it in the Food section.

I'd love to see more like it in the Food section.To be in the food section, it has to have recipes, silly .What say you? Food critic fugu flambe? Sommelier Spanish Mackerel scramble? Chef's shitty shiitake sh-trudel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLB Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Because there were no new developments on the Britney or Anna Nicole stories? LOL, must have been a slow news day. I also did not understand why the story about Clinton making $40 million since he left office such a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
