Sushi Chef Shortage! Say it 5 Times Fast!

The other night, 5 friends and I planned to head out to our favorite sushi place. I called ahead to make reservations and the hostess informed me that they were not taking reservations due to their sushi chef shortage. I asked "well what exactly does that mean? Are you really open?"

Ah yes, they were open, but unsure as to how many people they could serve and thought they might have to close the doors at some point. I called my friends to explain that there might be a snag to our dinner plans, but each time I tried to say "sushi chef shortage" I'd fuck it up and say "Susee sef sortage," and of course no one knew what the hell I was talking about. Ah, the unforseen legacy of the Katrina diaspora - Sushi chef shortage!
