Looking for Sushi
December 5th, 2007 | Published in Austin, Personal | 3 Comments
I’m thinking of throwing a sushi party with a twist and I have no idea where to start. I’m looking to hire a sushi chef to come to my house during the ordeal and basically make the sushi in front of the guests while we are all there. You know, invite a few close friends over and have him or her make some good rolls, fresh and in person. But I have no idea how to even find someone that does it for a living. I started asking around at HEB and stuff and have a contact there that is going to ask around for me. Anyone else have any good ideas of where I might look? I just don’t want some chump or even myself to be making sushi for guests during the party. I think it would add a nice flair to the party!

A co-worker of mine might know a guy that could help you out. He used to this sort of stuff. My co-worker’s email is Richard@duffyengineering.com you can email him and he can give you his friend’s name and number.

What a great idea. I’d actually recommend staying away from HEB because their sushi isn’t that great (though it may just be their ingredients). The two places that I would try are Zen (several locations around town), and Banzai is on 40th & Lamar, right next to the EZ’s. Both places roll their own, and I’ll bet that one of the employees would be willing to hire him/herself out.
This sounds like a blast. You’ll have to let me know how it went.
