all sushi is frozen, so it's not fresh in regards to the meat aspect of it.
True, sushi is flash frozen in most cases to kill parasites, but I'm more concerned about the truck drive from a coast to Arkansas.
Ummm, we have refrigerated/frozen capable trucks these days, for the
last several decades, actually... Also, check a map - Arkansas is no
further from a coast than some parts of California...

While this is certainly true, unless there is someone at the buffet preparing the sushi to order, I would be very concerned how long it had been sitting out in the buffet case. :O

What about those sushi restaurants that have the track going around the table with the small plates that you can take? I've eaten sushi at
places like that and never had a problem.

The mission district in San Francisco was known for little garage
pop-up restaurants - someone's abuela making pupusas like she learned
as a girl in El Salvador, or the best tamales you've ever had. All
spread by word of mouth.
The best sushi I've had on the mainland was in a tiny, unassuming
little weathered wood building in the middle of San Francisco with no
sign - just the flags over the door you pass through to enter. 3
tables, 4 stools at the bar.
Take highway 1 south from San
Francisco. At the Pescadero sign, tu > left. Go a mile or so to the main street, it's the only gas station.

Interesting - I did not know that. What characterizes a Wisconsin pizza? Thick crust, thin crust?

I had to go for training in Chicago late 90's, the Chicago Pizza was pretty good, thick crust but the crust was very well done. IMHO the crust made the pizza.

I think Chicago is known for deep dish pizza, isn't it? I enjoy that sometimes, but thick crust on a pizza isn't my favorite.. I tend to prefer a thin crust on a pizza. With a thick crust, I feel like there's too much bread.

I think Chicago is known for deep dish pizza, isn't it? I enjoy thatAs a matter of fact, they are. I went to Chicago and had one of their pizzas once. It was pretty good, but it is definitely not a thin crust, and that does seem to be the trend these days. The place where I had the pizza actually had one of Michael Jordan's old jerseys hanging on the wall. Like I said, I'm a connoisseur of pizzas.

That sounds like something that could be from Oregon too.. There's a pizza chain in my area called Pizza Schmizza that makes some unique pizzas similar to that. Also, I recall an episode of the TV show "Portlandia" that highlighted the way some people like to make sure their food is organic and raised well, with customers wanting to go see the farm where the farm where the chickens are raised for the restaurant they're visiting.

Personally, I miss the PNW style pizza from back in the day like at Pietro's or Sunshine. Fultano's on the coast is my favorite thin PNW style pizza. Then there's Nona Emilia's in Aloha, not PNW style, but a different kind of thick crust I've never found anywhere else..

I listened to a podcast on my way home yesterday ("Once we were
Spacemen", with Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk) and their guest was
talking about having chicken sashimi in Japan while on location.

you'd be ok. But, erP...
