I did answer your question, I wouldn't spend $500 on a meal. Right down the street from where I live people can't even eat dinner because they are too poor. I couldn't spend that much and still have a clean conscious. Disagree all you want, I still think it's retarded to spend $500 on sushi. this still has nothing to do with pot but whatever.
guinness is better than most mainstream beers available in north america, but its still pretty low on my list of good beers. at least, guinness draught is pretty low. it doesnt have a strong flavor, its almost like drinking a glass of milk....too weak, too creamy, too smooth. if i'm drinking a stout, i generally like to have either a far more robust flavor or a cheaper beer. guinness extra stout is good, though. higher ABV and much more roasted malt/chocolate malt flavors. not at all like drinking milk.... but still, no guinness i've tried has held a candle to stuff like samuel smiths taddy porter, imperial stout, or oatmeal stout....or even sierra nevada porter, stone smoked porter, young's double chocolate stout, old rasputin imperial stout, lion stout, or homebrewed stouts. murphy's irish stout is also pretty damn good, though its pretty similar to "normal" guinness. i'd love to try guinness special export stout, though. and i'd love to try the authentic article on tap in ireland. but the bottled and canned guinness draught available in north america is nothing compared to many other stouts and porters.
We had a place like that shut down right outside of Bel Air in Harford County. I had eaten at that place before....ugh!
I loooove sushi but there is no way I could spend that much money on one night of food for 3 people no matter how good it tasted. 30 dollars a roll? cmon, I pay way cheaper and get just as good (I'm almost positive of this, even though its impossible to judge betterness of food) sushi made from a japanese immigrant out of a corner store in downtown nashville. Blowing 521 dollars on sushi would be the last thing on my mind, I just couldn't consciously waste that much money knowing that people starve, there's no way.
so your saying, downtown nashville tennasee, most likely one of the LEAST minority populated cities perhas in north america can stand up to Vancouver, the 2nd largest culturally diverse city, and in most cases food conisuers[sp] ONLY runner up to authentic Japanese food? people starve, it's life.
