As long as we can remember, Pod has had more or less the same Asian-fusion menu since it did on day one, back when Moby was the rage and we still had dial-up. So finally, Pod’s beverage, lunch and dinner menus have all been given a make-over. And if yellow martinis were not enough to have every Penn kid running there right now to be the first to drink them, then this certainly will: The Bentley Sushi Roll.
We need to just say this right now, Pod, and everyone else: Please stop making stupid sushi rolls. There is no need for a sushi roll to offer kobe beef and gold leaf, unless you have invited Jack Donaghy (pictured) to dinner.
Even more so, Pod, shame on you for putting out this utterly tone-deaf monstrosity. There is economic stress both global and local, you are surrounded by strapped college kids, and instead of being creative and making something exciting and affordable you instead make a sushi roll with gold leaf. GOLD LEAF. As in edible gold. What are you trying to prove exactly? That, in a recession, you can still offer over-priced pretentious dinner items? Kinda reminds us of this David Cross bit:
We think we might have a new tagline for Pod: “Pod — The Ultimate ‘Fuck You’ To Poor People.”
