Missing in C-U: really great Fish ‘n Chips

Posted to Won't Someone Do Me The Favor by Seth Fein on Thursday, May 28, 2009 at 6:00 am

If what they say is true, I shouldn't be writing this now, and simultaneously missing what I would consider to be one of the finest experiences in all of my culinary adventures. Technically speaking, the Irish are mocked for their tastes in food; one only needs to spend a week in France to learn the general European opinion regarding eats in the U.K. and Ireland: shit. But for me, I'd put going to a really great chipper in Dublin …

I like Kaiyo A LOT, but at Sushi Kame (next to the art theatre) you can get an absolute shitload of good sushi, plus miso, and a bit of noodles in a vineagar cucumber salad for $21, and you know it was made just for you. I…

Nice article, Emily! When I get to the CU area, I’ll be sure to give this place a try.

“...who aren’t so savvy with the google…“  You know, the way I’m not so savvy with the typing.  That page I linked is one of the best things I’ve seen on the internet, though.

Yeah, I did a little googling and found it.  I’d forgotten that there was finally something going into the Boston’s space.  But when I was reading the article I was thinking that that kind of info would have been nice for the people who savvy with the google:  http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/facebook_wants_to_be_your_one_true_login.php#comments

I am embarrassed to say that I gorged on sushi at Kaiyó over the weekend. (Who wants to eat one more grain of vinegar-scented rice? Not I!) In any event, if you’re looking for quantity over quality, Kaiyó is the place to go. ...if you’re looking for…

The sushi has been great everytime I have been there. The rest of the food varied. I hope the uneveness is just growning pains because when it is all good the resturant is amazing. For the price you can always find something to eat that is tasty.…

I find this very interesting, as I went there twice and definitely had a different experience. The first time I went the sushi was OK, the second time I went the sushi was terrible, the service was terrible, and the place didn’t seem clean. I will definitely…

Once it leaves the basement, it is then called what? hmmm…....could it be mainstream? accessible? appealing on a mass-level? POP???  Quickly it will become a fad, over-saturate the media, and piss people off.  Then everyone can write articles based on how that shit sucks, too.  chickens are…

In general, I think music is much more interesting now than in 1995. I definitely am very glad contemporary music has expanded beyond the four-piece rock lineup that dominated much of the 90’s. The point of the above isn’t so much about a sound or an instrument…

2010 is not 1995. I’m not sure why anyone would expect a music scene to remain stationary as the world of popular music moves around it. Also, today, making popular music with mainstream appeal and being innovative and cutting-edge are usually exact opposites.

Nuts. Sorry I saw this, um, 15 minutes before CULitFest (my term!) begins. However, one deficit - no beer. SP.com 1, UIUC 0. In all seriousness, hope it goes well!
