Revolving Sushi

I recently discovered revolving (or conveyor belt) sushi bars on a recent trip to San Francisco.  Now I know some people may bring up the issue of how fresh can the fish possibly be on these belts, but when you are paying two bucks a pop you can't exactly expect top shelf now can we?

Anyway....so these places generally offer the basic staple of sushi and some allow you to order things not usually placed on the rotating conveyor but you know what I like about these places?

It's similar to watching the dryer spin round and round.  There is something fascinating about watching things slowly move over and over.  Now, I am not autistic (to my knowledge), but there is something calming about these repetitive motions. 

But, it's also exciting waiting for the next thing to drop on the line to see if you've had it or not.  I think the key is to sit relatively near to the chef station so you can eyeball what they are working on so you can grab it the minute they put it down.  But there is always a downside..... if you are sitting to the chef's left then you miss what he just put out because it moves in the opposite direction of where you are.  Don't you just hate it when that happens?
