Almost 75% Filling, But Not Quite...

Quadratini Bite Size Wafer Cookies: 3.99 USD
Cost of the filling in the cookie: 2.95 USD

I picked up these wafer cookies as a snack for hiking the other day. I bought them from one of the Russian-owned markets in our area. Imported from Italy and Tiramisu flavored, they were insanely super tasty, but the joy of eating them was in knowing that 74% of my cookie was filling. This joy was bittersweet though, as I wondered, with every bite of my bite-sized cookie, where that extra 1% of filling was that could have made it a whole three quarters worth. Maybe humans just can't handle the extra creaminess.

Clearly the Italians aren't trying hard enough, why couldn't they squeeze in that extra 1% of filling?

Ai Ai, this is a Sushi Lie!

All You Can Eat Sushi (but really just two rolls only!): 13.95 USD
Ai Sushi: Richmond District, San Francisco

Ai Sushi was probably the worst experience I have had so far food-wise in San Francisco. They have a big sign outside advertising "All You Can Eat Sushi" but when you get inside, the waitress informs you that the sign is old and now it is just two extra large rolls for 13.95 per person, dine-in only. What a scam, but we tried it anyways. The sushi was pretty bad, the rice didn't seem fresh and the fish meat seemed too chewy, salty, and tasted a little strange. While we were eating, the waitress came by at least five times to remind us what a good deal it was. Why didn't we walk out immediately and go to one of the 20 other Japanese restaurants in our neighborhood? All you can eat should actually be called "all we think you are able to eat." Needless to say I will never go back.

Although the pieces of salmon and the slices of sushi were large, they were not delicious. Quantity did not make up for quality at Ai Sushi.
