We've figured out dozens of different ways to cook food, and an infinity of variations and recipes. Along the way untold thousands, maybe millions, have died in the process of experimentation.
Now these fools have the gall to insult the memory of those noble sacrifices by eating raw fish just because it's cool and fashionable.
I don't expect intelligence from New Yorkers, but the other 3/4 of these cool people should have known better. I hope they get even cooler, as in sushi temperature. Only way to train them.
