Can you tell that food is an important part of our life? I didn’t want to forget to share this restaurant experience. Friend of ours took us to this small Japanese/sushi hideaway in the Northwest ‘burbs of Chicago.

Our friends are bonafide regulars, and as such, we enjoyed what the Chef prepared. Meaning, we did not look at or order off of the menu. We had one appetizer dish per person. That was a lot of food to begin with.

These rolls are divine, no? So tasty…

The spicy sauce was definitely hot. I think we had one roll per person also. And then came the sashimi. I’ll probably get clarification from my husband about how much food we really ate.

The fried ice cream dessert, what a yummy disaster.

But this. This takes the cake. The orange came with this weird cutout. My husband pulls out the cutout and voila! A little orange peel man violating the orange. The chef was quite pleased with himself. He even said himself, normally, he makes little boys, but this one, he’s a man. The table bought the chef a drink to end the night!
