Last year Lemley was approached by a high end Sushi restaurant (NYC) and ask if he would make 3 dozen glass sushi platters for the restaurant. Don made them. He has an additional 25 that were not shipped to the NYC restaurant. These are available for $50 each from Blenko Glass. Phone Blenko Glass at 304 743 9081 and ask Don to hold one for you. Credit cards are also accepted at Blenko Glass http://www.blenkoglass.com/
These look most wonderful when they are left in the freezer for an hour or two before serving - I can attest they keep the sushi cold for 6 hours or longer!
In Charleston many of the Chinese restaurants have Sushi - Main Tin Chinese Restaurant Address. 242 7th Ave SW, South Charleston, WV 25303. Tel: (304) 744-2900. is one of my favorite places, the other is Ichiban (304) 720-7874103 Capitol St, Charleston, WV .
In Huntington I like Hibachi Japanese Steak House 839 4th AveHuntington, WV 25701 (304) 697-0920
Hibachi Masters 375 Huntington MallBarboursville, WV 25504 (304) 736-0992
I'm certain there are other excellent Sushi places in both towns.
For serving Sushi at home - the Blenko Glass Sushi Platter - keeps everything ice cold for hours.
Sushi Platter by Blenko Glass of Milton, West Virginia a great item for a wedding gift, graduation gift, Father's Day Gift or just to gift yourself.
Totally unusual and weird enough for my friends.
ReplyDeleteI did phone Blenko and no one knew what I was inquiring about.
Talk to them, then tell me who to speak with.

Many people don't believe me when I say I like sushi even though I'm vegetarian – as though vegetarian sushi doesn't count This glass is much too beautiful for non vegan sushi!
ReplyDeleteCount me in for this one.
If its available when I return - I will own.
Hillary, I have been extremley busy trying to keep ahead of this economy, will send better photos shortly. I noticed that someone mentioned humor on coments do you still have the humorious item i sent. As far as sushi goes I have had Kalamari Alagator and allkinds of fish but they have never matched the Bass and trout that Virginia fried in her special batter. Thanks Larry T.

Hillary the milk and cornmill is wright but she added an egg an a tablespoon of what looked like maple syrup. Did you louse any of harrys info?? I will try to jot down those humorous comments agin.
ReplyDeleteMy story is a bit different: Don Lemley said those platters made for the nyc restaurant are not available (not sure about the info on the blog). But he said he'll be able to send pics of a couple of molds he has tomorrow morning (US time) from which he can cast one new and send it.
ReplyDeleteHilary you should get new photos from Don and post those if blinko wants to sell the platters laugh!
I also phoned Don L. wasn't in the gift shop girls knew nothing of sushi.
ReplyDeleteDo they allow sushi in Milton?

Sushi is NOT served cold... It's supposed to be at room temperature.
