It is my understanding that some of the food is assembled at the distribution site (or at least that was the case at the pick up site I was visiting). Knowing that, I could see how foreign objects or bugs could possibly get into the food. Hopefully these locations have to adhere to the same standards as any kitchen or restaurant. Although, even some of the best places have bugs. I am surprised that a company that big wouldn't be more agreeable, especially with a long-time customer.

There are some traditional sushi places that are experimenting with Americanized meat sushi that actually work really well. One that comes to mind is Sushi X on Diversey. I’ve tried their Pollo Loco roll, which includes panko-crusted chicken, lettuce, avocado, jalapeno, daikon sprouts, spicy mayo and cilantro. They also have a roll called the Flue-O that includes bacon, hamachi, avocado, cilantro, scallions, pineapple mustard mayo, which is rolled in bacon bits and wrapped with proscuitto. I didn’t try that one but it sounds like a good reason to go back. http://www.chicagofoodies.com/2008/02/first-look-sush.html
