In this week's review of Mirror, the enduringly cool eatery

in 12South, I gushed over chef Michael DeGregory's fish & chips. Covered in

ethereally light tempura batter, drizzled with malt glaze and served with

wasabi horsey sauce, this fish could go fin to fin with any in town.

Try telling that to Cleveland Pete Kotz and Jim Ridley, who

recently engaged in a little pen-to-pen combat over who has the best fried fish

in town in the Scene's Food Fight issue. Ridley said Eastside Fish, Kotz

said Dan McGuinness. Now I'm throwing Mirror into the fray.

Who would you bet on? Place your wagers and get back to us when you've tried all

three.

You had me at wasabi horsey sauce. I wish I had some to go with today's turkey...

Anybody who uses the phrase "drizzled with malt glaze and served with wasabi horsey sauce" is automatically ousted from any fish and chips discussion. What? Are you with the Soviets, trying to undermine the country?

See, that's what grabbed me about this review. Wasabi. Horsey. As Big Fella's grandpa always said, "If we all liked the same thing, everyone would be after your grandma."

Mmmm, wasabi horsey sauce. Just like they serve at the Arby's in Osaka... ;^)
