The post below is over a year old, but somehow I get at least one person per 24 hours that ends up here by Googling for something related to Sushi and Publix. Comments on this post were never enabled since it’s so old. I actually don’t even live in Florida anymore, but fortunately I’m still close to my favorite grocery store and still enjoy Publix Sushi from time to time.

So what’s your excuse? Why are you here? I have to know WHY you are all searching for Publix Sushi, Sushi from Publix and Publix Sushi Department. Does Publix Sushi make you happy too? Are you curious about Publix Sushi but haven’t tried it yet? Is this the Publix PR department trying to find out what people are saying about their products? If that last answer is yes, please send me a Publix Gift card… Otherwise, you’ve got some ‘splainin’ to do. Comments are now open.

Update (1/16/06):

From the comments so far it looks like most of you are looking for the nutritional facts on Publix Sushi. I thought about asking for them at the store, but I decided to do a little research first. I remembered that the branding on all of the sushi is “Southern Tsunami” so I checked, and sure enough, they have a website: http://www.afcsushi.com

The Southern Tsunami website could use some work, but they do have a nutrition chart. Now I know that my Dragon Roll tray has 508 calories and 18g of fat. Not too bad compared to a Joey Bag of Donuts from Moes at 1121 calories and 29g of fat. But…not great compared to a 6 inch sweet onion chicken teriyaki from subway at 370 calories with only 5g of fat. Anyway, hope that research was helpful.

For those of you wondering how to make sushi, my friend Adrian posted a Sushi Tutorial on her site. (As seen in the comments below.) I still haven’t tried her tutorial yet but I did buy a “MAGIC julienne slicer” already and hope to get to it one of these days.

The original post:

Publix is the best grocery store EVER! Sure, other grocery stores are ok - except for maybe Win Dixie, but if the choice is available, I go to Publix. They always have the cleanest stores, the freshest produce, and the best selection of regular products. Some stores like Walmart Supercenters (which don’t exist here in Gainesville) can beat Publix prices, but when it comes to shopping experience, you get what you pay for.

I guess I’m on this little advertising rant because I’m on my lunch break enjoying my tray of fresh spicy rolls from the sushi department. MMmm. What other grocery store has a fresh sushi section? The only thing I’m not so sure of is if rice is on the diet that Amy and I are on.
