Ever go to a place and think, "I should tell other people about this place?" or, "I should save this location so I can find it later." Well, I do. So I started logging the spots I visit. Below you'll find a global map of the pins I've dropped so far, as well as a feed of all my latest spots.

(Hint: because the global map contains a lot of closely-clustered pins, you may need to zoom in significantly to select individual spots. Try going full screen!)

Sushi Izuki

Finally got a chance to visit @izukiorlando with @instantsal this week.

Generally, I set my expectations for sushi in Florida to quite low, especially if the restaurant isn't Japanese-owned. Izuki blew away those admittedly reserved expectations with one of the best sushi courses I've ever had—and it's just around the corner from our place!

Beyond having a direct relationship with a supplier that ensures several shipments a week, what really sets Izuki apart (other than excellent preparation) is their dry aging technique. The true flavor of each fish is bolder and more distinctive, and the textures really melt in your mouth. If you're in Orlando, you've got to try it. One of the few Japanese restaurants in the United States I wouldn't be ashamed to bring my Japanese friends to.
