Sushi

Since we know that the French love their beef raw, I figured that they’d love raw fish just as much. Sushi boutiques (they are actually restaurants but they have really interesting interiors) are all over Paris. So- a bunch of girls from the program and I went to Planet Sushi to celebrate the end of a work week. The Planet Sushi chefs make fresh sushi rolls and then place them on a conveyor belt, which spins through the restaurant. We sat at the counter and grabbed plates of sushi that passed. At the end, you tally up your plates and receive a bill. It was such a cool concept; apparently these are all over Washington DC but it was my first time at one. I stuck with my regular pieces, spicy tuna and sashimi while some girls opted for dessert sushi (fruit and rice wrapped in crepe, held together by Nutella). Verdict? The sushi was good, the presentation was stellar, dessert sushi isn’t the best idea, and don’t shy away from raw things in France.
