Oh I get it, because it looks like watermelon.

So one night I was told we were going to a cheap sushi place for dinner.  Fine.  You all know I am not a sushi fan, but if I’m going to eat it, it should at least be cheap.  Somehow we wound up at Asakuma Restaurant in Brentwood, which was not cheap at all.  This wasn’t the fault of the restaurant, but still I can’t understand why sushi is expensive.  I fail to notice a difference between expensive and cheap sushi.  In fact, some of the best I’ve ever had was also some of the cheapest I’ve ever had.  Wow, do you readers ever get tired of me griping about sushi?  No?  Good, then read on about some Asakuma.

UNVEGAN FANS: HELP STUDENTS LEARN ABOUT DELICIOUS FOOD!

Future Foodies!

HYPE is a non-profit organization that works directly with low-income middle schoolers and their teachers to provide students with the guidance and resources needed to qualify for admission and succeed at top private schools in the Los Angeles area. We provide our students with engaging and unfamiliar experiences to broaden their horizons. A large part of building this cultural capital is by having our students try a wide variety of new foods. This pushes our students outside of their comfort zones and encourages them to take risks in a fun (and tasty!) way. Last summer, our students tried Ethiopian food, sushi, Korean BBQ, deli, and schwarma, just to provide some examples.

We want your help, Unvegan fans, to increase our students’ knowledge about the world around them by enhancing their culinary experiences. We greatly appreciate your support to provide a meal to our group of 15. With your donation, you will be opening delicious doors for an amazing group of students!
