• I'm back!!! Sucks to be back on the daily grind and sitting in a cube all day long doing mindless work. 

  So I ended up having some sushi last night with some coworkers, and we went to this Asian fusion restaurant in Dallas.  Fusion being another word for really crappy Asian food.  I was craving some sashimi, so I wanted to get some chirashi.  Looked over the menu, no chirashi.
  Waiter comes over and enlightening conversation ensues:

  Me:  Do you guys carry any chirashi?
  Waiter: Hmmm...*long pause*
  Me: Yea, I saw you had sashimi but I really would like chirashi.
  Waiter: I don't think we carry chirashi.  What is it?  We have sriracha hot sauce though.
  Me: Umm....*long pause*  Ummmmmmmmm *longer pause*
  Me:  *LONGGERRRR PAUSE*  so yeah, chirashi is just sashimi on a bed of rice, you guys have that?
  Waiter:  Let me go check with the chef.  Sure you don't want the sriracha?

  Wow.

  So I give my co-workers this really bewildered look and we all bust out laughing.  I really didn't expect a restaurant that was supposedly a Japanese restaurant to not carry chirashi AND I didn't think the waiter would recommend sriracha hot sauce as an entree.  You would think a waiter would know what kind of food he's serving.  Wow.  Go Dallas!
