Anyway, what with getting ready to take the week off to stay at home next week, and the panicking over what Editor Tim calls Snowmageddon, I forgot to link to Other Reviewer Richard's review of Geisha yesterday.
It's worth reading if only for his observation that the reason some restaurants aren't as upfront as they should be about the fact that they are more Korean than Japanese may be that Japanese sells better. ...
I hadn't thought about it before, but I'm sure that's true.
Not completely. Our very good Korean restaurants, like Howard Country's Shin Chon, can more than hold their own. And in cities like LA, Korean restaurants can be so upscale, stylish and interesting that there's no question that they are as popular as Japanese restaurants.
But on the whole, in Baltimore at least, Japanese is the cuisine of the moment.
