The Denton Alamo Drafthouse finally has new seats. Only took them about two years from when they promised to replace them. No more janky bits of recliners coming home with me!

It’s official. A freshly baked loaf of preservative-free bread from Ravelin costs more than one hour of work at minimum wage. I’d say we’re in Les Miserables territory except cake is pretty expensive too.

On the plus side, Ravelin is hiring and they probably pay more than minimum wage.

EDIT: This post is about the stagnant federal minimum wage and how it’s being incredibly outpaced by inflation. This problem hurts Dentonites and the small businesses here.

And, yes, cheap, mass-manufactured, ultra-processed bread does exist. That’s not what this post is about.

Today is the Grand Opening of Kura Sushi, the revolving sushi bar! At Kura, the cold food comes out on small plates on conveyor belts. You can also order hot foods, cold foods, and dessert made to order from an on screen menu at each table. Those orders come out on their own special express conveyor belt.

Drinks are served by robot servers which is fun! Also, you can earn prizes by slipping your dirty plates into a slot at each table. 15 plates gets you one prize with the next prizes in 10 plate increments. I really liked the small plates because you get to try a wider variety of stuff—especially if you share.

Kura Sushi is located in Rayzor Ranch in the same strip mall as Gen and First Watch. It’s down at the end near At Home. Note: the tables are mostly 4 tops but they do have counter seats as well. (Also I don’t work there or anything. I just enjoyed my visit there, and the food was excellent!)
