Ashley and Joel Selby are the creative minds (and hands) behind Rational Jar of Honey, the culinary side of their studio, This Paper Ship. They live in a historic apartment in downtown Greensboro and consider themselves graphic designer-farmers, combining technology and nature in their every day lives.

What they lack in culinary education, they make up for by love of food, creativity, design skills, and (not to mention) hundreds of hours spent watching Food Network and poring over their cookbook library. They are inspired by the recent explosion of awesome food blogs and want to bring their own style and tastes to the mix.

Here's to good eating!

Sweet Eats: Sushi Republic in Greensboro, NC

Monday, May 31, 2010

For the majority of this blog, we’ve been documenting our adventures in home cooking and growing our own food (with the exception of our post on guilty pleasures in which we raved about cheeseburger-flavored Doritos & cake-flavored Fruity Pebbles), but we also LOVE eating out. We can’t do it all too often on a freelance budget, but when we do, we want to start sharing our experiences here in a post series called Sweet Eats!

This past week we frequented our (so far) favorite sushi place in Greensboro, Sushi Republic. After we left Shepherdstown about a year ago, we lost our favorite place to get sushi and pad thai, and we feel like we definitely gained an awesome sushi place when we moved to Greensboro. It’s got the feel of a slightly fancy, trendy urban place, but they won’t look at you weird if you come in and order a single roll and an appetizer, which we did this time. And oh buddy, they were delicious:
