One day last week I treated myself to lunch at Central
Market’s indoor café. Central Market is
an upscale grocery store similar to Whole Foods. You can get fancy bread, fancy wines, fancy
cheese, fancy to-go meals, fancy cooked to order meals and you can sit down for
lunch or dinner in there indoor café.
I don’t even remember what I had for lunch. All I remember is a young mom and her 5 year
old red-haired daughter at nearby table with sushi and full size pizza.
Sushi and pizza.
Pizza and sushi.
Hot damn. That is the
life, people. This is the height of
luxury.
Personal size sushi trays at Central Market is starts at $10
and goes upward of $15. Pizzas you can
get cooked to order and start at a minimum of $10 as well. Who has the luxury of dropping $20 - $30 on
lunch? Who decides to pair sushi and
pizza together?
I’ve eaten a lot of things in my day. Chicken feet, tripe in menudo, roasted bone
marrow…..I ain’t afraid. But I have yet
to one day decide; pizza AND sushi?
Sounds great! Pizza and sushi
couldn’t be more different than one another.
One is meal you treat yourself to when you are still
committed to staying healthy. Even if
you get the sushi with the fried tempura or cream cheese in the middle. I mean you are still eating to some degree
fish, rice and seaweed. Healthy shit. The young, skinny, and wealthy swear by
sushi. You can indulge but still stay
lean.
Pizza is the exact opposite.
When you eat pizza you gotta forget about your
waistline. You just have to enjoy the
hell of all that gooey cheese, crunchy crust and greasy pepperoni.
I can’t even begin to imagine the circumstances that lead to
this. Presumably the mom wanted the
sushi and the pizza was to split between her little girl and maybe the girl’s
father? Who can know?
All I know is, this is now my new life’s goal. To eat pizza and sushi in one sitting. To enjoy the height of luxury in this new
manner.
Pizza and sushi for life!
Haha, that is a weird combination! I always find that sushi can be quite filling (probably all the rice) and although I like it a lot, it would always lose to pizza :)
ReplyDeleteRight? They are delicious by themselves but I have never thought to eat both at the same time.
DeletePizza is always good :)
