brush with fame

Kim and i just came back from dinner at Sushi Masa, where i held the door open for a guy and his little girl.  He looked awfully familiar, and as he was about to leave after eating, i asked him, "Has anyone told you you look like Owen Nolan?"  And he replied, "That's me."  Turns out that he stayed here even though he was traded to Toronto.  He looked a little thick around the gut, but maybe that's what a year off does to an athlete.  His little girl was quite a cutie and she blew kisses to the sushi chefs as Daddy took her away.

The sushi was superb, as always; one of the chefs suggested we try lotus root, asparagus, and shrimp tempura, so we did and it was delicious.  I got fatty yellowtail (which they call "hamachi toro", but other places call "hamachi hara" or "buri toro") and it was soooo good.  Sushi Masa is the best sushi in the South Bay.  Eat there now.
