When John Raymond, chef de cuisine at Lake Park Bistro, goes out to eat, he gravitates toward Japanese restaurants. “When I dine out I very often choose sushi restaurants,” he says. “I love vibrant seafood of all sorts ... paired with fresh vegetables, fruits, grains and sauces. It’s an amazing and healthy way to eat.” His two favorite sushi restaurants currently are Kyoto and Fujiyama, both close to his home in Brookfield. Both spots “rate high for me in consistency and quality.” Plus they’ve got big rolls and everyone can always find something they like, he says. “Who doesn’t love a good hibachi, sushi roll or udon noodles?”
