- The last meal we
had in a restaurant was on March 11th, 2020. The day
the NBA suspended the season, the last day my kids
went to school and we ate their knowing that starting
the next morning we were starting a quarantine.
I remember where we sat, I remember having the
news on my phone so the table could see, I remember my
mother being with us... I remember it as vividly
as anything because it was at Toshi's and there's only
one Toshi.

- Kindly old
Japanese dude that sings while he prepares your food.
I miss it so much. It's why the only takeout I
will risk walking INTO is Toshi. We always order 2
Toshi's Special super early so no one is in the place
when we pick it up and we've only done it 2 or 3
times. EVERYTHING else is delivery. But Toshi? Toshi
is special...
-
-
- And? He's
apparently doing quite well. His phone doesn't stop
ringing and he doesn't offer delivery! Everyone just
loves him and kept calling throughout the shutdown. He
seems almost impervious to everything. He just comes
in everyday and makes sushi. Singing all the while...
I love everything about the place and that
spirit. It will be the first place we eat when this is
all over.
-
- My GOD when will
that be? Next spring? Sure won't be this year.
-
- Whew.
