Starving Auctioneers Rating: 4 Gavels out of 5

Regional stereotypes are an unfortunate thing and often truly jade our mind. Therefore it was a pleasant surprise when Greg Belhorn and Peter ventured to the Jersey Shore to pick up pottery, glassware and antique items and failed to witness any of the lewd and ruckus behavior demonstrated on the myriad of cable TV programs that have made the Jersey Shore the subject of much national humor. Failed to witness until dinner that is…

After an afternoon of hard work loading a van full of items out of a basement for upcoming summer auctions the two ventured to Shogun Legends in Wall, New Jersey. In somewhat Ohio redneck fashion both changed out of their sweat soaked shirts in the dark parking lot but if in anything that was in an attempt to do the Buckeye State proud and not looking like a couple of farmers. Shogun Legends was an impressive looking place both inside and out and Greg had done some research before leaving on where a couple of Staving Auctioneers might be eat after a long day. The restaurant was packed and it was unfortunately full of walking Jersey Shore stereotypes much to Greg and Peter’s Midwestern amusement.

The somewhat befuddled waiter explained that Shogun’s was known for its New York sushi. That was fairly confusing as it is generally held that sushi originated in Japan but what do a couple of hicks from Ohio know? Greg ordered a selection of sushi, sashimi and rolls that helped contribute to overfishing in all the world’s oceans (by rule Starving Auctioneers are nothing if not equal opportunity consumers, primarily carnivores and environmental bandits) and when that massive sushi platter failed to completely fill the hold another round was ordered. The sushi was truly excellent and the in-restaurant debauchery of the locals was both entertaining and enlightening. New York Sushi turned out to be some of best reviewed to date and much better then Hilliard, Ohio sushi that is for sure.
