Sorry for going off topic...on a more serious note I found this post regarding a presentation on the history of sushi where sushi will be offered to those in attendance. Tickets on sale today.

Where to Eat Thorough 1,000 Years of Sushi History

Yoko Isassi, founder of the educational Japanese feasting program Foodstory, will explore 1,000 years of sushi making on two nights in the coming weeks. On September 24th at West L.A.'s Nibei Foundation, then again on October 8th at Chinatown's Kleverdog, Issan will lead participants through the two-hour, non-linear "Travel with Sushi" tour, using art works, maps, and history to detail the evolution and global spread of sushi, while also dealing out sushi etiquette lessons that she promises will "coax a smile out of the Sushi Nazi himself." More importantly, Issan offers sushi-making workshops and plenty of examples of historic sushi for guests to eat. What might be served?

Speaking of Nozawa, Issan promises that the rare examples of sushi past will be provided by an established Japanese restaurant. Offerings will include varied sushi from different regions in Japan, leaf-wrapped kaiknoha sushi, pressed stick bo sushi, and hako boxed sushi, all examples that predate the Edo-Mae period sushi familiar to today's sushi addicts.

On thing Issan is sure of? Even the most dedicated sushi fans won't find these sushi styles in your typical L.A. sushi spot, whether upscale, in the strip mall, or on wheels.

Yeah, the website covers a lot of topics regarding Japanese cuisine as well. There's even an interview with one of the chefs from Sushi Gen.

For our kosher friends

Bad Jew BBQ Sauce

"It takes a bad Jew to know good barbecue." So goes the quote that led to the formation of Bad Jew BBQ Sauce ($12/2-pack). As you might have gathered from the name, this is a Kosher BBQ sauce, giving our observant friends out there all the flavor with none of the guilt. We dare you to try it on your next pulled pork sammich.
