Sake 2 Me Sushi: All-You-Can Eat Sushi With a Side of Sake

February 27, 2014 by

Tustin's Sake 2 Me Sushi considers each customer a member of its family. So don't be surprised by the customer photos that cover its walls—they're the family photo album. And snapping a picture is just one way that the staff makes its guests feel at home. They might surprise you with a complimentary bite to eat or nip of sake before you even order, since they value creating community almost as highly as crafting fresh, inventive sushi.

Enjoy an endless sampling of the sushi at all-you-can-eat lunch or dinner, where a flat rate of $19.95 (lunch) or $23.95 (dinner) covers virtually every sushi roll. Try a salmon hand roll, baked lobster California roll, or specialty roll like the Heaven In Ya Mouth (stick crab, mango, avocado, asparagus, romaine lettuce gobo in soy paper). And then wash it down with sake, soju, or another tasty libation.

Two of Television’s First Game Shows

February 20, 2014 by

If you love to watch Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? or Family Feud, you have television’s original game shows to thank for the popular host and contestant format. Here are two of the very first game shows to appear TV screens:

Truth or Consequences
Truth or Consequences began as a radio program, and it first aired on television in 1950. Its contestants had to answer trivia questions in no more than two seconds (the show’s "Truth" portion), but the questions were almost always ridiculous or incredibly difficult. Once the contestant inevitably could not answer, they were faced with a "Consequence," typically an embarrassing stunt or physical activity. Truth or Consequences was particularly beloved for its sentimental surprise appearances, often a long-lost family member or a son returning from Vietnam. 

What’s My Line?
This 1950 panel-style game show featured a panel of celebrities who had to question contestants about their professions. The contestants could only respond with “yes” or “no” answers, and the panelists aimed to guess the contestant’s occupation based on the obtained answers. Occasionally a celebrity mystery guest appeared on the show, in which case the panel attempted to guess the person’s identity instead. What’s My Line? eventually spawned international versions and, later on, U.S. revivals, a radio version, and even a live stage version.

Picture Show at Main Place: One Dollar Tuesdays

February 13, 2014 by

The Picture Show at Main Place might be the O.C.'s best bargain for movies. Prices here are low, both for admission and concessions. For just a dollar on Tuesday nights you can see a film, for less than it would cost to rent. You can also enjoy the concessions stand where many tasty treats are well under the expected chain theater pricing. For under five dollars one can purchase a variety of snacks and drinks at a price that would be unheard of in most theaters. Seeing a film on the big screen is a vastly different experience and the Picture Show offers customers this wonderful experience at any budget. This is a great place for a date night, or perhaps to take the kids on a Saturday afternoon.
