The chicken katsu hat trick.


This week at the magazine was production week. That means LONG hours at the office. I've been skipping my morning trip to the gym (yeah, like that was hard) to catch an early bus so I could get in to the office at around 8:30. I'd put in a long day and leave the office in time to catch the 7:15 bus back home.

After draining the creative side of my brain all day, the last thing I want to do is figure out what to make for dinner. Luckily there's plenty of cheap eats on Piedmont Avenue for me to choose from. But I'm being lazy, so as soon as the bus drops me off I step forward about ten feet and walk into the Geta Japanese Sushi restaurant next to the Long's at 41st and Piedmont.

Geta Sushi is a really SMALL place. There's about five or six tables set too close together and the entire place is about the size of a movie box office. That's why I order to go. And for some reason for three straight nights (Wed-Fri) I ordered the same thing: a spicy tuna roll, an unagi and avacodo roll, and the chicken katsu appetizer (just the cutlet, no rice, etc.). All that costs is $11.23.

Chicken katsu is da bomb. I might start using panko on everything from now on.
