Nim Chow

You know what really grinds my gears? Bad business in good restaurants! First and foremost, I love Japanese food! Big fan of the hibachi! Monday night I have a tradition of going to a Japanese restaurant (that will remain nameless) with a few of my very close friends. Now sidenote…my close friends love them some all you can eat sushi and trust me they eat all they can. So much so that they seriously make these sushi chefs work around the clock giving them some all you can eat goodness. Now because these guys are big spenders and not the casual overeaters they’ve created good friendships with the hierarchy at this place. So with that said one would think that with all the money we spend in this nameless restaurant that it would be ok to swipe an innocent piece of NIM CHOW off of my friends dish! Right? WRONG! The hostess seriously came up to me to say she caught me stealing the Nim Chow off of my buddies dish and that I needed to stop or Id be charged full price for the all you can eat deal. So naturally I told off the hostess and said I’ll eat all the Nim Chow I want and I’ll gladly pay the difference! She didn’t like that response in case you couldn’t tell. But seriously, Nim Chow…a piece of rice paper stuffed with lettuce and maybe a carrot and a phantom piece of shrimp?! So I guess it’s cool to just throw it away and waste it next time because in her head it’s wrong to pick off of your friends dish! So sorry hostess! Next time I’ll be sure to bring my own rice paper. Thoughts? Ha!
