When I first started cooking I used to burn the rice all the time and I had to throw it all away. Then one day I had dinner at a Persian restaurant and they brought me some of the charred rice (called “tahdig”) as a special treat. It was a real eye-opener (tongue-opener?) because that shit is incredibly delicious. They regretted serving it to me because I started begging for it every time I went, which is apparently a rather rude thing to do.
Korean dol sat bibim bap is similar. It’s a dish served in a massively hot stone bowl with the rice on the bottom, and the longer you let it sit there before mixing everything together, the more the rice chars and the better it tastes. It’s almost crazy how much charred rice is not a thing in world cuisines when it’s actually incredibly delicious.
I did this once. I didn’t realize it was sushi though.
I was outnof town, training for work. My meals were paid. I decided "That tuna is $20, but I am not paying it so why not.
It was raw.
So I cooked it in the hotel room.
EDIT: Another fun food mishap from that trip, I ordered some expensive pasta from a place I had not been to evet, same logic, “Its $25 but ita not my money.”. This was back in 2010 BTW.
I went and picked it up to take back to the hotel. Its a Family Style restaraunt. It was $25 pasta because its meant for like, 4-5 people.
Something I consider rather agitating is the concept of food elitism. " No you can’t put ketchup on that you uncultured fuck!" But like it’s my food piss off mate…
This is actually quite tasty

How would you find a place that does this?

Had a persian friend who would make tahdig all during Covid and I definitely ate more than I needed to.
And we have places here that serve fried sushi rolls, they are good, but no fried stuff after 40.
I think there are often fried sushi rolls on the menu of most places. It’s the only way I can convince certain family members to go.
In Panama, that crispy rice is called concolon :)

I ordered steak tartare. It was ok, but tasted so much better after 5 mins on my friends hotrock.

I agree 90% of the time. My exception to this is if you’re putting hunts ketchup on anything. Using hunts is, actually, a crime against humanity.
