Ordering sushi: how much?

mmm, I mean hhhmmm. Good question, since sushi does tend to weigh down the bill by about $10-$15 per roll. I'm a big eater so when I go (alone) I tend to get at least 2 rolls although I usually do eat about 3. When going with a group, you say 4 of you will be dining, I'd say get some edamame for the table along with approximately 5 rolls, at least 2 of which with shrimp (or veggie) tempura so that they will be more filling and the remaining rolls, anything goes.

You should be good with 5 rolls but, if after consuming them all you are still hungry, maybe just order as you go -OR- say you all are saving room for dessert (i.e. tempura fried ice cream) and you'll help to keep the bill as low as possible while still eating good. In addition, ordering some rice for the table may help with getting full, too. Also, you can try and keep the talking/conversation going so as to slow down eating time and, hence, let everyone reach their satiety level/become full.

Good luck. Regardless, no need to fret, just be yourself! Hope this helps, I'll have to reach out should I make it to Philly - we can snack down! ;)

The McNuggetini

Woah, kind of like I just tweeted (via @scottysnacks), " talk about a strange McCombo!" :)

All jokes aside, I had some specially flavored mixed drink made by Starbucks a couple of months back at Loew's Hotel out here in Santa Monica. It had some liqueur and was called something like mochatini or something similar - it was good but, it was potent!

Also, not to bog down the comments section here but, friend of mine (@brooksbayne on twitter) totally rocks bacon vanilla milkshakes. I still need to try!

Anyone else tried a bacon vanilla milkshake or the startbucks mochatini?
