TAKOSUSHI: A Return

This is not a review.  Just a quick little note about a restaurant which is becoming my favorite place.  TAKOSUSHI is run by a couple who were looking to do something a little bit different.  They saw the opportunity in the franchise and decided this was their new path.  I had the opportunity to briefly chat with Shelby Stone, one of the owners, and as he puts it “the night half of the night and day team”.  Shelby is a painter, artist, supporter of the arts and very down to earth.  He was warm, welcoming and willing to sit down over a beer for a little chat.  In the few minutes we spent together I felt like I was talking to an old friend.  His demeanor and character were representative of the restaurant he helped to create.  I was glad to discover that the people who run one of my favorite places represent what they created:  a laid back place to have a good time.  If you want a comfortable different experience stop in order some food, drink some drink and while you are there say hello to the owners: they don’t bite.
