Kaiten-Sushi Daichan
Last night we went with my sister and her boyfriend to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant on the second floor of The Olympic Collection on Sawtelle. 
Fun huh? The belt moves quickly, and you have to too! 
The menu says it all: look, like, and take! You can also order items off the menu if they're not coming around on the conveyor belt. Consenses: not too shabby for cheap sushi! I think it's the kind of place where if you go a few times, you'll figure out what's the best bang for your buck. As first timers, we spent about $18 each. But I think with more careful eating, we could easily eat for $10-15. 
The funny thing about Daichan is that price seems to be determined by labor involved rather than cost of ingredients. So our favorite dish of the night, escolar nigiri (not pictured), was only $2 a plate. However, a California roll with avocadoes and unagi on top was $4.50 because it obviously involves more labor to make. Guess what I'm going to eat more of next time? 
And some bragging. Claire put me on a bicep regimen for this month. I admit I could have been better about hitting the gym this month, but there's still some improvement. Look at that cut coming in between my deltoid and bicep! The weather's just been so nice I've been enjoying running outside instead.

Eh, did the sushi taste one week old? It's good that the place looked well lit. :-)

For full disclosure, let me explain that Cat is skeptical because we tried to go to Daichan a week ago and the entire plaza had lost power for a day. We were joking that the fish might be scary the next day. Luckily, it tasted fresh, and everyone is alive and well today. :)

You can do chin ups off of a tree branch outside. Weather is no excuse!
