The local sushi chef that I go to is from Japan but has lived in my town for the last 20 years, he's quite incredible.

I've been to many different places over the years but this guy is a true old school classically trained sushi chef.

I started eating sushi by trying various rolls etc, but soon realized that the best experience was to sit at he bar and ask him for the chef special.

Man this guy is creative, he creates all kind of awesome dishes, different sauces and spices and chilis. His wasabi aioli he puts on some of his dishes is so good it makes you want to slap your mother-in-law and yell hallelujah!

Haven't gone in a while, I guess I know where I'm eating friday night, thanks to this thread...lol
