My wife designed the whole restaurant herself. We wanted it to be different than other sushi places -- and most of all, convenient.

If a customer doesn't like sushi, I like to recommend the seafood salad. Even though it's still raw fish, they usually really like it.

He's been there for us, and he's also been there for his wife. He's like Superman, in two places at one time. I can only imagine how hard it is for him. But we know if we win, we can take a lot of stress off him.

The owner of the Agut d'Avignon had the air of a 1920s dandy who had ruined himself with one mad night of gambling at baccarat and had only been saved by this restaurant, which he seemed to cherish as if it were his wife or a good fountain pen.

Eating a tuna roll at a sushi restaurant should be considered no more environmentally benign than driving a Hummer or harpooning a manatee.

I'm obsessed with sushi.
