Kobayashi received a text a few days ago after announcing his departure from Columbia to help open a restaurant in Oakland.“You’re the most Columbia, South Carolina guy I know." https://t.co/1KI0sd3knq
Dang. Lived next door (Senate Plaza) my senior year 1991. Felt good when I went from “friend” to “chief”. An icon around Five Points and beyond. Never once ate there when he wasn’t at the cash register. RIP “my friend” @AndysDeli_5pts

Shige is always worth listening to. “A lot more people are cooking now, & it will elevate our understanding of good food and eating around a table. The next generation of restaurants are going to have to be quite special to keep diners coming back.” https://t.co/i31JQejaQF
@ColaMuseum Here is a great interview in Whitewall Magazine with Osamu Kobayashi that went up yesterday!
He talks about his studio practice, and they even ask him about his public mural in Columbia, SC!

Did you know that besides one family vacation to Japan in the early 90s, Chef Kobayashi has been behind the sushi bar at Camon every single day we've been open since 1985?

For two hours every week, usually on Sundays, I'll try and respond to anyone who ats me. Food questions to @ServerShige , religion and politics questions to @shigeharu . Ats me something good.
I talk with @preachjacobs about difficult race stuff like always feeling foreign even in Japan, and delicious food stuff, like secret menu items at ethnic restaurants.
