re: sushi buffet, rank'em

quote:Did you eat that white-fleshed fish called escolar?
Take it from a man whose last trip to Nagoya caused him to skip the St. Patrick's Day parade in favor of vomiting, sweating and being parked on the toilet.
I used to get bathroom problems very very quickly about every 3rd time I ate sushi. Then I heard on Fitzmorris' show that some people cannot eat that type of fish without the symptoms you describe. Stopped eating it and have never had the problem since.

ESCOLAR
Escolar, Lepidocybium flavobrunneum, is a fish found in tropical and temperate waters around the world. It is also known as snake mackerel, and is sometimes fraudulently marketed as “butterfish” or “white tuna,” a controversial practice due to potential health problems related with consumption of the fish. It has a high wax ester that can can cause keriorrhea, a condition similar to diarrhea, only the body will expel yellowish-orange drops of oil (the ester from the fish). Headaches and stomach cramps can accompany the keriorrhea. Portions of six ounces or less seem to limit the negative effects, so a few pieces of mislabeled escolar at the sushi bar may not be harmful.

Nagoya
Went to this place once and they had a shrimp dish mislabeled as chicken something or other.
I took one bite and realized they'd fricked up, but still ended up in the ER.

Crab Legs are the exception IMO.

Give me a nice steak at a good restaurant over that 100 times out of 100
It's $43, and that includes the salad bar which most people here admit is quite good. The meat isn't the best you can get at a restaurant, but it's good (albeit a little salty at times) and you get a lot of variety. It just depends what you're looking for out of a dining experience. To me it serves a purpose that a traditional steak house doesn't. I'd have to spend a lot more than $43 to have that much variety anywhere else. I only eat TbD at most once a year, so it's not a routine thing, but it's got its merits.

Unless you are a college student eating a pizza buffet, grow up and eat like an adult.
How many rolls do you eat at one of these typically? It can't be much less expensive that just going to a nice sushi place and ordering 3 rolls on your own.
A buffet is all about maximizing the most food for the money.
If I were to go to a conventional sushi restaurant, I would likely order two specialty rolls, paying anywhere between $25-35 and leave still a little hungry. If I go to Kaminari at lunch time, I spend $11, eat 3 rolls worth of food, and I get to try a bunch more different rolls. While going to a real sushi restaurant would provide me with a much tastier meal, at this point in my life, the amount of food I get for my money outweighs the obvious step down in quality.
When I really want quality sushi and am willing to pay for it (a rare time since my SO doesn't eat it, my friends are mostly too poor to afford it, and I don't allow myself a particularly large "eating out" budget) I will pay for it at a real restaurant like Ichiban or Yama.

Wedge salad and filet at Ruffinos is around $43 dollars. Would eat that over some random meat buffet every time, sorry, as I've said aside from college kids at a pizza buffet or a breakfast bar at a nice hotel, I just don't understand it.

And that is no where near the variety of what you get at TbD. Thanks for completely missing my point.

Yes, you are so much more mature in your eating ways. I'm just thankful you were able to understand any of my childish gibberish. Carry on.

I enjoy Nagoya after a tough audit when I just want to eat as much sushi as possible.

Says the guy saying buffets could never be for adults.

I said I don't eat buffets a-hole, you chose to come in here and champion your love for texas de Brazil. In all the threads I notice you in you are always talking shite, trolling or bitching about something, you seem like a petty little man with a giant stick up your arse who is jealous out of his mind of everyone around him.
So carry on to you sir.
So carry on to you sir.

No that's exactly what I said, I don't understand the appeal of paying 43 dollars for a steak buffet, or non poor grown adults eating 8 plates of food at the Golden Corral.
I certainly (going back to the original point of this thread) would not eat fricking sushi off a buffet.

You sure are a classy guy.

Is it possible for you to make a reply without insulting anyone? Why are you so angry?

The only type of buffet I've gone to is a sushi buffet. I've done it frequently for 15 years or so and I've never had a problem.
I've had sushi at a regular sushi restaurant and for my favorite, nigiri, have noted little difference. It seems that much of the praise for a regular sushi restaurant comes from the many ways they dress up or actually cook the "sushi" so that it appeals to people who really don't like sushi.
