Sushi eating competition

pj,

OK, let me ask a question for clarification. Are you wondering if the object of a sushi eating competition is to eat the most sushi?

[/ QUOTE ]

No. I'm wondering if the object of the competition is to:
a) eat the most in a given time period
b) eat the most in any time period but a given sitting
c) eat the widest variety of sushi regardless of size/quantity per item
d) eat at the most places during a given time period
e) etc.
f) etc.
g) etc.

You can't just say "it's a sushi eating competition" and expect that to suffice.

plz plz plz let rolls be allowed.

[Mike Gallo]

Should rolls be allowed? If so, what is the right piece of roll / nigiri ratio?

For a roll wrapped in fish such as what we call on the east coast a dragon roll or a rainbow roll. One roll equals four nigiri.

For a roll wrapped in seaweed one roll should equal three nigiri.


How about other items like potstickers?

How about Shumai?

Can every bottle of Saki equal one roll?

I think an East Coast vs West Coast would be kind of neat.

Mr Bruiser,

You could probably pay for all of us to compete and it would not put a dent in your bankroll [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Maybe by city or region? I'm in for LA. Sounds like Joker would be down, bet DeezNuts and LFS would be in.

I don't understand the general premise of the contest -- is it a who-can-eat-more competition?

[/ QUOTE ]

There are no losers in a sushi eating competition, but yes, the point is to eat the most sushi.


[/ QUOTE ]

The only losers, of course, are the fish.

pj,

Touché, my friend. However, any non-retard should assume from the OP that this is about going to a sushi place and consuming the most pieces in a single sitting (probably with some time limit).

pj,

FWIW, I think it's pretty obvious that the object is quantity at a sitting. Widest variety?????

All,

I'm not usually a sushi snob, but a sushi competition like this is silly. Good sushi is to be savored. This would be like having a caviar eating competition. I absolutely HATE when I've eaten too much sushi, I feel so bloated. Slow and steady wins the race.

EDIT: But I would attend the LA edition of this and obviously vote for Sushi Go 55, where they now recognize me because I've gone there like 6 out of the last 10 Saturday nights since y'all suggested it.

SF people,

For SF competitors, I recommend Mas Sake for this:

http://www.massake.com/

"Join us for Endless Sushi Sundays featuring All You Can Eat Sushi for $20"

That is quite good sushi.

There used to be a place called Sushi Chardonnay w/ all you can eat, it was the foulest crap around.

This place also has all-you-can-eat. I haven't been, looks like reviews are mixed:
