I'll admit it - I dig poke bowls

wife and i met for lunch yesterday at some random poke place here in nashville (next to a trader joes..there's a damn surprise) and i gotta admit it was delicious.
it was set up like a subway where you picked stuff..started with half greens/half rice then you got 3 proteins - i picked raw spicy tuna, salmon and ahi tuna then a spicy soy sauce blend, corn, thin cucumber slices, marinated onions & carrots, crunchy wasabi peas, seaweed, etc etc. and some wasabi sauce and spicy mayo on top..
damn, this was the most delicious thing i've eaten in some time. so fresh and so many flavors at once. $14 for basically as many toppings as you wanted.
if you've never had one, give it a shot.

It's a brave stance. Don't let the haters shout you down. S Stand strong.

Love Poke. I do have trust issues with the places that serve it around BR though. I'm not sure I'd want raw tuna from a place that smells like weed (looking at you Pokeworld)

I'm a big fan of poke. Most places outside of Hawaii seem to serve it in a Build Your Own Style. When I went to Hawaii a few years back, it was very different. Most places had several different styles of fish prepared in several different ways, and there were minimal toppings to add. I enjoyed the poke more there because the fish was better / fresher and the overall taste of their styles of poke was better. That being said, I still love the Build Your Own style as well.
This is typically what you see in Hawaii
I haven't been to one place in the continental U.S. that prepares and serves it the traditional way, which is kind of odd.

so fresh
I was visiting a city for several days and had eaten all the tapas, fusion tacos, steaks, etc. the local restaurants had to offer when I came across a hipster poke bowl place.
The freshness of it all was so welcome. I went back again the next day.

Poke is great. Really need to dial in the add ins to maximize goodness. For example I usually like seaweed in other things like sushi but for some reason it makes poke less good to me.
