 ML>> Sushi is all about the rice. We just got a bag of Nishiki

 NB>> Perfect for sushi in their minds, I guess...

Indeed.  :)   Indeed, I do...  :)
 
 NB>>> Fu's, though, are nice pieces... and his rice is always superb... :)
 ML>> A sign of a good chef.
 NB>>> His rolls are also well filled, nice fat pieces
 ML>> Who will never get to retire.
 NB>> At least only under great protest from his regulars... ;)
 ML> Nonetheless, that kind of personal investedness takes its
 ML> toll, and you have to bear that in mind.

I know.  But we'll enjoy it along with him as long as it lasts... :)

 ML>> Much better with real king crab, though I haven't seen that
 ML>> in a while, the best of late being the leg meat from small
 ML>> snow or large spider crabs.
 NB>> That sounds decent, too...  :)
 ML> I won't order California roll if I'm not assured that

Plenty more to choose from... :)  I don't know if Fu has good crab on
the premises or not, he only displays the kani, but that's what most
expect to have...

 ML>> I wonder if a customer who is discriminating in ordering food
 ML>> from such a deal is held in higher or lower esteem than the one
 ML>> who eats in the way you describe.
 NB>> Different kind of esteem, perhaps...  :)  He gets some fun out of
 NB>> giving people what they want, when they aren't too discriminating...
 NB>> but he also does very much enjoy the customer that is willing to try
 NB>> things, and/or does have some discrimination...

 ML> What kind predominates in Rochester?

In Rochester...?  Considering how many different (and reportedly
inferior) sushi places there are around town, I'd guess the not very
discriminating...  But particularly in Taste of Japan, I'd guess that
the scale tips quite a bit more to the discriminating, especially among
the regulars, at least from what I've observed when I'm there... When Fu
was at Arigato, I'd guess that he had a lot more of the other than he
does now...

... "I resent overly  expensive shellfish", he said crabbedly.
