Oh, no sushi? I don’t think I could live without sushi!
No sushi!?!? Do you have a bad mall sushi experience at some point in your life? Bad sushi can scare a person away for life. You just need a good piece of yellowfin tuna nigiri to lead you down the right path of sushi righteousness. I speak from experience. My first sushi encounter was at The Gallary — the downtown mall in Center City Philadelphia. Within hours of eating some foul fish I got sick and swore off sushi for almost a decade. Thankfully, a trip to Hawaii brought me back in the fold.
Don’t get me started on portabella mushrooms. As an one again off again vegetarian, a good portabella mushroom sandwich done right makes me mouth water more than a sirloin steak.
Fine choice of Hawaiian islands. I would live in Kona if it was affordable in the least. We honeymooned there and have been back a few times. Alabama? We visited Birmingham and had a nice time with friends. Couldn’t find a decent cup of coffee there our entire stay. Wal-Mart killed off most of the downtown retail core. I could see visiting there again, but as far as living there I’d respectfully pass.
Sorry for the long comment. I tend to get passionate about sushi.
Hmmm sushi… :-p
OK, I can understand the sushi thing, but you must share with us why no portobellos. That’s really got me curious. I love your #8′s on both lists.
