This may sound strange coming from an admitted chronic conformist, but I boycott sushi due primarily to it's popularity amongst people who seem to like it more than they really do.
I think it goes beyond just being a fad, but it's something a lot of people use to try to identify with their inner uniqueness, and it drives me up the gorram wall. I know too many people who go nuts over sushi when I know DAMN well they don't really like it that much, they just want to be viewed as both hipster-cool and upper-middle class by other people. And, for some reason, sushi represents that to them.
So when my friends say "let's go for sushi", I say "ask your other primate friends, I'm gettin' a steak at Denny's." Because steak at Denny's makes me seem hipster-cool and upper-poverty class.
