It's at Chef Central in Paramus. You live in Bergen County, right? You should come, too! Here is the description:

ADULT HANDS-ON SUSHI MAKING

If you have ever been to a sushi bar and wondered what it would take to prepare your own rolls at home, at Chef Central we'll show you how. Our two hands-on classes will take you through the step-by-step procedure for preparing restaurant quality sushi. The Basic Class covers the preparation of sushi rice, the proper use of a sushi press and how to use the rolling mat to prepare small rolls and “inside-out” rolls. Once you've mastered these techniques, it's time to enroll in our Sushi Making II Class. In this class, students prepare three of the most popular and artistic styles of sushi. Nigiri Sushi, or “supported sushi” is the most popular style of sushi in Japan. Students will learn how to cut and cook the barbecued eel for Unagi as well as learning the technique for hand pressing the supports and cutting the nori belt. Spicy tuna roll is a favorite among American devotees and is an example of Temaki, or “hand-rolled” sushi. We'll show you how to cut the tuna, prepare the sauce and hand-roll the nori. “Battleship sushi” is for items that are too fluid to mount on a support. For this technique, we'll fill the battleship with Tobiko or flying fish roe. At the end of the class, students will use the knowledge from both classes and the materials on their cutting boards to prepare their own creations.

We just have to call them.

Oh man I live in Paramus! Are you guys near there too??

Yes. You should come, too. PM me if you're interested.

I hate you all. I'm so jealous. I live nowhere near Paramus. I don't even know where it is. I'm officially pouting now. *sigh* I've always wanted to take a sushi class with a bunch of really cool ST girls. It's been a dream of mine and now? Now it's coming true only I'm not part of it. And that's really the part I was looking forward to the most (the "me" part).
