I still wonder how they manage to do a $12.95 special at that place. But Im grateful regardless. They have great timing on the lobster as well.

My father used to serve Clamato and V8. Went well with vodka.
Two weeks worth of sodium per glass.

Wow. I am flabbergasted at that price! I'm happy you can enjoy it. $12.95 will not even get you a rotten lobster shell around these parts.

No worries, becasue it had two weeks worth of potassium and alcohol per glass...so it worked out!

From Now On, I�fm Only Using Bear Paw Forks to Eat

Avatar for Casey Chan Casey Chan �\From Now On, I'm Only Using Bear Paw Forks to EatSometimes I'm eating something so delicious that my slow fingers and small utensils can't keep up with me. I need more powuh. These Bear Paw Meat Handler Forks will let me maul meat like a bear would. So perfect.

More seriously, the Bear Paws look to be actually pretty good at pulling and shredding pork, carving and moving big chunks of meat around. I'm not sure how effective it would be for stuffing my face but I wouldn't mind having these at the dinner table. $15.

Hehe. I'd hate to make a mistake while using those at the dinner table.

Hey 'racer, I've heard good things about this sushi-ya in Torrance called Sushi Ken. It's on Hawthorne...any thoughts?

Actually that had been my first thought about the non mutant utensils.

All kidding aside, it's amazing what kind of stupid gimmicks people conjure up in their delusional minds.

And how much they can charge for it. I'm guessing they won't be the next craze, too many shredded lips..

Haven't been there.... Yet.

No worries. It wasn't a dig...just fishing for opinions, kind sir.

I should diversify.

You're being kind. That wasn't my intention at all...just asking because this joint is in your neck of the woods...if you are content with your go to spot, Hakone Sushi, if I'm not mistaken...by all means continue to patronize it.

I only got wind of Sushi Ken because a close friend of mine got a list of fav restaurants in the South Bay from another friend.

I guess it's a networking thing.

Which American Restaurant Chains Might Go Under?

06/29/11 12:53 PM ET

TheStreet.com recently analyzed the Z-score (a formula that measures a company's financial health through factors such as working capital, total assets, total liabilities, market capitalization, sales, retained earnings and earnings before interest and taxes) of several chain restaurants to forecast the chances of the companies going bankrupt in the next two years.

The article points out that although stocks from companies like McDonald's, Chipotle and Starbucks are generally growing, restaurants like Sbarro's and Marie Callender's filed for bankruptcy this year.

Below is a list of which other chains (market capitalization of at least $100 million) might follow suit, from least risky to most risky:

14. Red Robin
13. Sonic
12. Ruby Tuesday
11. Carrols Restaurant Group (Pollo Tropical, Taco Cabana)
10. Einstein Noah Restaurant Group
9. O'Charley's (its namesake as well as Ninety Nine Restaurant and Stoney River Legendary Steaks)
8. Ruth's Hospitality Group (Ruth's Chris Steak House, Mitchell's Fish Market)
7. McCormick & Schmick's
6. Bravo Brio Restaurant Group (BRAVO! Cucina Italiana and BRIO Tuscan Grille)
5. Domino's Pizza
4. DineEquity (IHOP, Applebee's)
3. Morton's Restaurant Group
2. Wendy's/Arby's
1. Denny's
