It all started a few months ago, when the Sunset Grill on Yonge St. closed down, and was replaced with a "Coming Soon" sign for a new take-out sushi place. And I thought to myself, "Another one? This neighbourhood's already got like... say, how many sushi places are there around here anyway?" I figured you could eat at a different sushi joint every day for quite some time without straying beyond a comfortable walking distance.
Based on a suggestion from Karen, I decided to turn this into an actual experiment. The methodology goes something like this:
- On Victoria Day, visit the closest sushi place to my house.
- Each week, continue to visit nearby sushi places in increasing order of distance
- On Labour Day, note my final distance from home
Of course I could easily determine the answer right now without actually going to all these places, but what fun would that be? Also, I'd lose the chance to answer some other important questions, such as: How long will it take me to get tired of sushi and abandon this ridiculous project? How long until I get food poisoning? Will all the places currently operating actually make it the whole summer before they buckle under their collective weight and implode?
Check back every week to find out the answers!
