I made it to LA!!
You know you have a good friend when you’re greeted with a chilled glass of one of your favorites upon your arrival.
Oh, Kim. You’re a true lady.
Colleen and I were joined by our friend, Jules, for some sushi at little neighborhood joint last night.
We’re in California, what else were we going to do?
We shared a few rolls and some sashimi. It was very good and especially since it’s hot out so we were craving something light and un-burgery. I don’t know if you heard, but it gets pretty warm in southern California. Plus, Colleen claims that she goes to this sushi place every Friday and I didn’t want to disappoint the staff by not showing up.
Something I learned about California yesterday:
All CA restaurants are graded by the Health Department (A is the best, all the way down to D- I’m assuming if you get a F you’re closed. At least I hope so) and are required to post their grade. Colleen informs me that one should only eat at restaurants with an A grade. I like this system! Makes me feel good, especially when I’m eating raw fish.
We’re heading out to explore! Happy Saturday!
Yummm!! Looks like you got your sushi fix 🙂 Those sushi rolls look delicious!! Especially the second one with I guess tuna on top?? Gosh my mouth is watering now
I think I’m in the mood for sushi after seeing those pictures. Have a great time in L.A.
I love the grading system! And that the “A” is a decent size for people in the restaurant to see… very good work, Cali!
Have a great weekend!
I love the letter grade system. I grew up in San Diego where they used it. Unfortunately, where I live now (Orange County-between LA and San Diego) they don’t use the ABC system so it isn’t as clear. I think they’re supposed to be transitioning to it, though. Your friend is right, only eat at places that display an A. Bs mean they had a few infractions and are will be re-evaluated soon. Run away from the Cs! I don’t think I’ve ever seen Ds of Fs. I think a place gets shut down if they are have a C for too long.
there’s a saying about the asian restaurants in LA – you wanna go for B or below for the authentic stuff b/c A is for “american!” i’ve eaten at a lot of B thai places and have been okay….
Looks like a great time with friends!
What a nice friend:)
Have a great time in LA!!!
