Earlier than I head out, I’ve a chewy chocolate and peanut butter protein bar (beforehand purchased from Dealer Joe’s, $3.49 for a pack of six). I at all times put together for the likelihood that I’ll be splitting the invoice, so it’s in my finest curiosity to eat beforehand in order that “I’m not that hungry.”
7:05 p.m. I meet up with “GPT man” at Ebisu, a sushi restaurant. The house is straightforward, small, and comfortable. We share a sake flight and two specialty rolls: a Dexter Carter (salmon, avocado, shiso, tobiko, and shrimp with sliced lemon) and a Household Affair (tuna, avocado, albacore tuna, yellow onion, tobiko, and scallion topped with aioli). The Dexter Carter roll actually stands out: The thinly sliced lemon on high is refreshingly acidic in distinction to the richness of the salmon, whereas the tobiko provides a pleasant crunch. Alternatively, the Household Affair roll is nice and passable however extra forgettable, type of like our dialog. After we wrap up dinner, he suggests we get dessert so I convey us to a close-by frozen yogurt store, Easy Breezy. I get a mixture of cookies and cream and vanilla froyo with mochi topping. He pays for dinner ($64.32) whereas I pay for our froyos ($9.44).
