I know it’s early and all, but this list might get long. I’m going to this local place that has EVERYTHING. So, wadda ya’ want? Me? I’m getting Uni and Maguro sushi appetizer (this Chinese place has sushi!) and the Shredded pork in garlic sauce (extra hot). [sub]Did I forget to tell you it’s my treat?[/sub] ---
