Sushi Bridge

Tweet

For my daughter's birthday this past week, we went to Epcot, one of the four theme parks at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Out of the four theme parks at Disney World, this is probably the one with the least amount of rides, but the theme park makes up for what it lacks in other ways, mainly it's celebration of food and drinks (currently, the Food & Wine Festival is taking place at Epcot). Anyway, the point is that she wanted to splurge and eat lots of good food. In most years, she'll ask to be treated to a nice steak dinner, but this year she wanted sushi from a brand-new fancy restaurant that opened in the Japanese pavilion at Epcot. On the menu, they had a sushi boat for $300. That's what she had her eyes (and stomach) set on. But when we got to the restaurant and she saw the size of the sushi boat (at another diner's table), she decided there was no way we could eat all that sushi. So she opted for the sushi bridge, which at $100 was just a smaller version of the sushi boat. It was just enough to feed five of us without feeling too full. There were samplings of salmon, tuna, squid, octopus, shrimp, scallops, yellowtail and eel. My daughter and I--who absolutely love sushi--were in absolute heaven over the selection. The other three people in our party were less enthusiastic about the meal, but were good sports about it and ate their fare share. We had a late dinner reservation, which worked to our advantage without us realizing it. The restaurant was on the second floor, and we were at a window table facing the large lake in the middle of Epcot, where they do the evening fireworks show. We got to watch the beautiful pyrotechnic display all while enjoying our meal. Are you a sushi fan? And if so, what's your favorite type of sushi?
