HAHA. Nope. The patty was made from some vegetable protein and rice. Whole thing was really tasty and pretty light because it wasn't really fatty or fried to death.

Sounds like a contradiction in terms. :beaten:

Haha. Yeah, but I'm trying to be in good boy mode these days. I will say that it honestly did taste good, but I'm not going to b.s. and say it was better than a Double Double Animal Style.

Ben and Jerryfs jumps on the Linsanity bandwagon

Ben and Jerryfs has jumped onto the Jeremy Lin bandwagon with a new ice cream flavor in honor of the overnight basketball sensation.

The Vermont-based ice cream company is offering the new flavor -hTaste the Lin-Sanityh – for a limited time only at its Harvard Square shop, according to a Boston Globe article. The New York Knicks point guard, who played basketball at Californiafs Palo Alto High School and Harvard University, became a nationwide phenomenon this year after he took to the court following injuries elsewhere on the team. Previously a bench-warmer, Lin has acquired a nationwide following after a series of sensational performances.

The new ice cream flavor, developed in recognition of Linfs unbelievable overnight fame, features vanilla frozen yogurt, lychee honey swirls, and comes with a waffle cookie on the side.

Initial batches of the flavor featured pieces of fortune cookie, but a backlash from customers accusing the company of ethnic profiling, along with soggy cookie pieces, led the company to remove the ingredient.

Those who want to try the new flavor can shoot baskets at a hoop inside the Harvard Square store for a $1 discount on a pint. The promotion will continue through the end of Harvardfs basketball season and a portion of the proceeds from the new flavor will be donated to charity.

Sushi Nozawa closing after 25 years

02/28/2012 07:01:18 PM PST


STUDIO CITY -- Sushi Nozawa, a pricey but inelegant eatery that catapulted its sometimes cantankerous owner to heading a mini-chain of modern sushi restaurants across Southern California, will close tomorrow after 25 years in a Studio City mini-mall.

Customers, including numerous celebrities, were eager to sample the fare of Kazunori Nozawa, the only sushi chef at Sushi Nozawa for a quarter century, despite his habit of making his views clear about how diners should eat and behave.

Famed in the "foodie" community for great sushi, along with its cheap plastic chairs, a sign at the sushi bar read, "Today's Special: Trust Me." If diners lingered too long after finishing their food, they were often told in no uncertain terms to get up and leave.

"No talking" and "do not even try to order rolls (or brace for the 'sternest gaze you'll ever suffer')" were part of the otherwise highly complimentary review of Nozawa's eatery in the 2012 Zagat Survey restaurant review book.

Though its top-notch sushi continued to draw customers, Sushi Nozawa could no longer boast its longtime position at the top of the Southern California restaurant pecking order.

The 2005 Zagat Survey rated Sushi Nozawa as not only having the best Japanese food in Southern California at the time, it also rated it as the best food of any restaurant -- Japanese or not. The latest guide has Sushi Nozawa in 14th place for all restaurants for food; it did not make the cut of the five best Japanese eateries.

"Everybody Loves Raymond" star Ray Romano was a big fan of the eatery.
"My first introduction to sushi in L.A. was a lunch at Nozawa with the 'Everybody Loves Raymond' writers and it spoiled me from ever having sushi anywhere else," he said in a statement provided by the restaurant's publicist.

"We went there for lunch once a week for the next nine years," Romano said. "I missed my show when it went off the air, but not quite as much as I missed those lunches. I have been going there ever since. It was perfect."

"Everybody Loves Raymond" creator Phil Rosenthal said "after one bite of (Nozawa's) fish 25 years ago, to me he became the Walter Cronkite of sushi. If it weren't for Nozawa, we might all be eating nothing but California rolls and spicy tuna."

Nozawa has opened four other sushi restaurants in the Los Angeles area called Sugarfish by Sushi Nozawa, and his publicist said the Sushi Nozawa location at 11228 Ventura Blvd. will be remodeled and opened as a Sugarfish location.

Zagat describes the Sugarfish restaurants as designed for a "younger, hipper crowd" than Sushi Nozawa, and also as considerably less expensive. The Zagat guide says a diner at Sushi Nozawa pays an average of $68 for dinner with one drink and tip, putting it in the "very expensive" category, compared to $39 for the Sugarfish locations.

"My dream has been to teach the American consumer the traditional ways of sushi," Nozawa said. "My many customers have learned to appreciate and love my style, which I know is very different than the ways they are accustomed to."

Had a great lunch today!
