December 2nd 1997 - The Final Report+++ NEWS +++ NEWS +++ NEWS +++ NEWS +++ |
 Dear sushi world guide fans:Finally we made it to Destin, Florida to award Harbor Docks, Yoshie the sushi chef and Curt Eddings, who submitted Harbor Docks. We (the author, the webdesigner and our new marketing associate) flew to New Orleans and spent three nights there to celebrate Halloween and to check out some restaurants. We went to 'Samurai' and 'Kyoto' in New Orleans, which were both very nice. Then we drove to Destin, were we met Curt Eddings and Yoshie at Harbor Docks. We brought T-Shirts (which will be available soon at our site to order online) and an award for both which they enjoyed very much.  Harbor Docks is not just a Japanese restaurant but a Seafood restaurant at
the coast. At night they have a sushi bar, run by Yoshie, which serves
pretty good sushi. Especially their rolls are nice and very inventive in
naming them. Here a list of some of their delicacies:
Besides the sushi bar the owner wants to set up some Hibachi tables in the
near future. During the evening it also seems to be the local watering
hole. In the morning they offer a great american breakfast (no sushi, the sushi
bar opens only for dinner).Destin offers wonderful beaches and all possible watersports activities like scuba diving (check with the cool guys at Aquanauts Diving Centre!) and game fishing. So if you go to Destin, check out Harbor Docks and say hello to Yoshie and many regards from the Sushi World Guide. The Sushi World Guide is still growing and we are waiting to list our 2000th restaurant. So keep on eating and mailing. |

It took us a while to track down Curt Eddings, but we finally have an
answer from him: |
|
Dear Michael, terribly sorry for the late reply. It's very exciting to win
anything.
Yoshie (the sushi chef) is in Philadelphia for two weeks in september. In
addition to all her
endeavours she works for a catering company which caters the crew and cast
for movie sets. The one in Philly is with Danny Glover and Oprah Winfrey as
the two primary stars. As could be expected she goes there and makes Sushi
for the Stars. The catering company is TomKats catering out of Nashville,
Tenn. Anyway, she will be gone for about two weeks and then return to
Florida. Sorry I don't have any photos of myself. Which is strange since I
own my own Photography Studio in Ft. Walton Beach. Let me know what you want to
do. Thanks again. ;) Curt Eddings |
| So we are still curious how Curt looks as well as Yoshie. As soon as we have news we will let you know. In the meantime anyone who is close to Destin and has a chance to take a picture from the Restaurant, Yoshie or even Curt, please do so and give us a note, since we don't have a chance before the end of October to visit Curt and Yoshie for a proper Awards Ceremony. Thanx again to everyone for contributing to THE SUSHI WORLD GUIDE. Let's find Restaurant 2000 !! |

CONGRATULATIONS !!
And this is what Curt Eddings wrote:
| "Sushi Bar is a favorite for locals and tourists alike. It is operated by a wonderful woman named Yoshie. Although taboo in Japan for females to be a sushi chef. I have tried sushi all over Japan (17 years) and many, many places in the USA hers is unequivocally one of the best. People will leave the restaurant if Yoshie is not there to make it. Harbor Docks is a seafood restaurant with fresh daily fish from its own seafood market." |
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOSHIE !!
| As soon as possible we will have photographs of the restaurant, Yoshie, Curt Eddings and the award ceremony on this page. For those who have no idea where Destin is located we provide a few useful links: |
