Comments for The Heavy Table - Minneapolis-St. Paul and Upper Midwest Food Magazine and Blog http://heavytable.com Feasting on the Bounty of the Upper Midwest Wed, 17 Mar 2010 23:53:45 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 Comment on Pastrami Jack’s Is Closed and It’s Your Damn Fault by Dan S http://feeds.heavytable.com/~r/CommentsHeavyTable/~3/r0hr9qhx_Lw/ Dan S Wed, 17 Mar 2010 23:53:45 +0000 http://heavytable.com/?p=8552#comment-18018 Actually, PBoss, as someone who travels regularly and reads about the industry a fair amount, I *can* compare places to each other relatively well. NYC and San Francisco are more expensive cities to live in, but they offer better food quality, usually at cheaper prices on average, than anything I have seen in my years of living in the Twin Cities. I am not about to get into a pissing match with you over intelligence, since I don't know you. You can read about deli economics in a simple and easy to find book called "Save the Deli," that will give you a rough idea of the economics of running a deli, no matter the marketplace. Quality costs money no matter where it is. In Minneapolis/St Paul, lack of quality also costs money for reasons I cannot figure out. Even if I could, I doubt I'd discuss it with someone as openly hostile without reason. Last word on this can be yours.

NYC is a slightly more expensive city isn't it? Oh wait that's right, between San Fran and NYC it is ALWAYS 1st or 2nd in the nation toping the list for the most expensive cities in the nation. That being said, and figuring on the lack of smarts aka intelligence shown by Dan S, I am making an educated guess that he knows nothing about economics. I am also assuming that he has no knowledge of how much more people get paid in those cities per capita to do the same type of jobs that we have here in MN. Nice try though Dan....it will be duely noted what an uneducated comment that was. Read up a little bit sometime bud. I love the guy that actually compared our restaurant market to NYC.

While our Sushi isn't as good as NYC, it's certainly not terrible, and it's not as though it takes weeks to get here. And if you're going to compare almost any type of food in the Twin Cities you're going to be able to find a better restaurant of the same type in New York. Not sushi, but don't they fly everything into Sea Change on a very regular place? I’m with Heidi on this one.

If there's better omakase around here that I've missed, let me know.

While playing the part of a tourist in LA several years ago, I visited numerous sushi restaurants and had sushi every day. One of these places was Oomasa in Little Tokyo. Several guide books highly praised Oomasa for freshness and presentation. Yet, what I had there, primarily nigiri, tasted no fresher than what I have had in Minnesota. In truth, none of the nigiri sushi I've had in LA, San Diego, Portland, and Seattle has been better than the best I've had in Minnesota. Even in coastal areas of the US, almost all fish is flash frozen before being delivered, via jet and truck, to the restaurant. That means, with our modern transportation system, sushi served in Minnesota should taste indistinguishable from that served on the West Coast. How a restaurant handles the sushi after it arrives is a bigger determinant of flavor and freshness than our being in Minnesota. My suggestion for getting good nigiri sushi is to sit at the sushi bar and become friends with the sushi chef. Skip the menu, insead, ask for omakase (chef's choice) and ask for what came in that day. If they get flustered by your request for omakase, don't go back. If they say everything is fresh, don't go back. Also, don't go during happy hour or peak dinner hour. In my experience, Nami, both Origami restaurants, Sakura, and St Paul Fuji Ya have had good sushi. As an aside, I had the pleasure of eating sushi made from fresh-caught fish while in Homer, AK. The owner/chef had an arrangement with the local fisherman to bring him certain types of fish they had caught by accident in their nets. It was there I first had black sea bass. Unfortunately, the guy did not know how to cook rice. It was undercooked and gritty. When he was not looking I would discretely discard the rice and eat the raw fish as sashimi.

The Upper Midwest has nothing to apologize for on many fronts -- beer, meat, cheese, and in-season local produce, among many others -- but there's a steep drop off even between good California (or NYC) sushi and the local stuff, to say nothing of Japan. The reason this particular roll was interesting is that it basically concedes that point, and tastes quite nice in the process, working with a non-raw fish driven roll. It's like, "to hell with it, I'm nontraditional, so I'm going to go right out and give traditional sushi the middle finger." I’m with Soleil on this one.

Face it, it's just not part of the cultural landscape. The dish originated among cultures that lived by the ocean! Just accept that authenticity is a moot point here! It's incredibly impractical to expect fresh fish sushi in the Midwest, because whatever you're going to get just isn't going to be as "authentically" fresh as the sushi you can get in Tokyo. You guys, we live in Minnesota. Accept it, and move on. Eat some sushi next time you're on a coast, but don't expect the same quality from restaurants here. It's like faulting a dog for not being able to execute a proper Russian dinner service. Joe A.,

It is difficult to get real sushi in MN (despite all the Japanese restaurants) - there's maybe a few token items offered on the menu which are actually sushi. Most of what is offered is "disguised" sushi. Most (that's most) people here can't eat raw fish. It's out of their league. Let me know when you find a real sushi place. What a downer.

I'm not being sarcastic here, I honestly do think you think that it's helpful -- I know your track record, and your sincerity. From my perspective, it's not -- a thoughtful comment, or, better yet, a thoughtful email would do a lot more good. Moreover, I'm not apologizing for this story. I think the proliferation of sushi in the Upper Midwest is absolutely bizarre and fascinating, and I think the creativity on display over at Chino is worthy of comment. I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Geoff, I’m sure you actually do view posting short, hostile comments that question the magazine’s overall integrity as a helpful thing to do.
