Shut Up and Enjoy the Sushi
I have voices inside my head.
We all do.
Unless you’re Elon Musk, which I know isn’t true since he recently banned or throttled Substack newsletter links from being shared on Twitter, the voice we all share is self-doubt and uncertainty.
As a critic, I wrestle with the imperative to tell you if a place is good or bad vs. also putting that restaurant and its operations in the broader cultural context.
As you know, the latter voice often wins out.
But sometimes I wish I could just listen to the voice that says:
Shut up and enjoy the god damn sushi.
