Message #1870 of 2744  *NEW* To From Subject Date All BBlast Danny 10/1/05, 11:38am My wife just could NOT leave this alone..she was worried about Danny because they were telling us that he had this "family emergency" and he had to leave town. So yesterday, she calls them and then calls me and says, "I got blood out of turnip". Ok.. She called and spoke with whoever answered the phone and got her to admit that Danny is not there because he and the owner had a falling out. She said that the reason they were telling people that he had this "family emergency" was because that was what the owner had told them to say. My wife explained this woman that we are regular customers and were genuinely concerned for Danny and his family and to use that lie to cover an unpleasent situation was worse than whatever the original problem really was. She also told them that we were no longer going to visit that sushi bar. (Good sushi is just to expensive to have to deal with that crap.) So, having not gone for sushi in some time, we decded to try another place.... ....continued in next post -------------------------------------------------------- "All human arrogance and ego can be expressed in two words.

Food was good... it was interesting to see that they were separating the sauce on the Judy roll... they put the sauces in a bowl (rather on top) for dipping.

Message #1878 of 2744  *NEW* To From Subject Date BBlast saundrabeach   Re: Danny 10/4/05, 2:22pm If you enjoy the food, atmosphere etc. I think it is silly to let this interfer with your enjoyment. A good sushi restaurant that you can trust and you don't get sick is a hard find. Keep it about the food, is just my opinion. They don't pay, you do. Your business loss really won't "teach" them a lesson do you think? Their personal business dealings is about them, and not for their customers. While I agree they could have said something less offensive and worrisome. They only owe you a clean restaurant and good food and service. Just my opinion today. -------------------------------------------------------- TREAT OTHERS LIKE YOU WANT TO BE TREATED WELCOME EACH NEW DAY!

I liked this, >actually. Well, we see this episode as a reminder that it is fun to try different sushi bars and different sushi masters. Danny is great to be sure...but he ain't the only guy out there makin' some great sushi and great rolls! BTW, did you see the paper yesterday about a sushi bar that got a Zagat award? Lemme look real quick... GOT IT! In the number 3 place ranked among the "best food picks" by Southern Californian diners is KATSU-YA of Studio City. (BTW, #4, was an upscale place in Woodland Hills call Brandywine) I have not been to either, but a good showing in a Zagat usually says that something is very right. -------------------------------------------------------- "All human arrogance and ego can be expressed in two words.

A good sushi >restaurant that you can trust and you don't get sick is a hard >find. I DO enjoy good food and good atmosphere, but I can't really sit there and enjoy any of that if I am uncomfortable with the place in general, don't you agree? Also, when it comes to sushi, it isn't like sitting in a restaurant and the person that prepares your food is in the back somewhere. Sushi is up-close and personal and you develop, sometimes, a relationship with "your" sushi master. If you REALLY like that sushi master, then it starts to become a "habit". Take away a habit and you have created a blank spot, a hole..that wants to be filled. > >Keep it about the food, is just my opinion. They don't pay, >you do. Your business loss really won't "teach" them a >lesson do you think? I am not interested in teaching them anything. Cash these days is hard to come by so if I spend it on a sushi meal, I want it to be good and I want to be comfortable in my surroundings. I mean, come on..it isn't like there are no other sushi bars around! There must be 20 or more within 10 miles of my house, so why bother with a place that makes me uncomfortable? >Their personal business dealings is about them, and not for >their customers.

Almost no effort required and it's about 99% profit. Can't say that I've ever heard of a Kelty Pack store though. I assume it was run by the company that makes Kelty backpacks. I have one of their backpacks, though it's my oldest one and doesn't get used any more. -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ldphotography.net/ -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #1951 • Back to Topics

Thanks! I think that site could prove very useful, both for hikes and my little three-to-five-day trips. -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ldphotography.net/ -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #1954 • Back to Topics

Cool store, we used to hang out there a lot. Great staff too. I think they also had a store in Burbank? Not sure though. I just got rid of my old Kelty back pack when we cleaned out the garage. It always reminded me of the old Apollo Astronaut backpacks -------------------------------------------------------- " I lift up mine eyes to the hills, whence cometh my help.", Psalm 121 -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #1955 • Back to Topics
