Jiro Dreams of Sushi is the story of 85 year-old Jiro Ono, considered by many to be the world’s greatest sushi chef. He is the proprietor of Sukiyabashi Jiro, a 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant inauspiciously located in a Tokyo subway station. Despite its humble appearances, it is the first restaurant of its kind to be awarded a prestigious 3 star Michelin review, and sushi lovers from around the globe make repeated pilgrimage, calling months in advance and shelling out top dollar for a coveted seat at Jiro’s sushi bar.
…he sees himself still striving for perfection, working from sunrise to well beyond sunset to taste every piece of fish; meticulously train his employees; and carefully mold and finesse the impeccable presentation of each sushi creation.
The feature film debut of director David Gelb, Jiro Dreams of Sushi (Facebook page) is a thoughtful and elegant meditation on work, family, and the art of perfection, chronicling Jiro’s life as both an unparalleled success in the culinary world, and a loving yet complicated father.
WTF? your faith in humanity was restored because an overweight guy was human? WTF is wrong with you?

You need to take a long, hard look in the mirror at yourself. If you cannot see how this post is not “offensive to those sensitive about weight” but rather clearly shows what a shallow, conceited, narcissistic person you are, then see a therapist.
