Josh and I tried out a new sushi place down the street last night. It had great ambiance and tasty food, and it was relatively cheap (always a plus). I noticed something strange that seems to be the case at all of the Inland Empire sushi joints we've been to. (Not that we go out for sushi near where we live all that often.) There were a couple of men parked at the bar in jeans, flannels, and ball caps, drinkin' beer, talkin' loudly about one guy's new F-150, and... eating lots of sushi. It was like being at a truck stop, only with chopsticks. Now, I suppose if you just think about the food itself, raw fish would have some appeal to beer-swillin' manly men. Kind of like raw beef. But I sincerely doubt that any of the truckers I knew from work when I lived in the Midwest would touch the stuff. But, this is California, after all. I wonder if these types of guys eat sushi in Japan, if there even is such a thing as a bearded, beer-bellied, huntin' and truck-drivin' kind of guy in Japan. Will?
