Sushi chefs are true gustatory artists. Their delicate knife work and knowledge of precisely combining ingredients sometimes goes unnoticed as we pop the sushi pieces gingerly into our mouths. Many a sushi aficionado will agree, though, that a fine piece of fatty tuna is a masterpiece on par with a Bernini sculpture.
However, no matter how skilled these chefs may be, no matter how appreciative their clientele, I will always feel just a little bit sorry for them.
For a sushi chef will never know the satisfaction of a job well done.
