SU SU SUCCULENT!  A most delicious ribbon cutting was held Monday night at Stoughton's first Japanese restaurant, Su Su Sushi at 408 Washington Street (former site of Basil Leaf).

Owners Tony and Sue Li welcomed chamber officials, as well as Selectman Cynthia Walsh

All enjoyed an amazing array of delicious delicacies! If you haven't tried this place, you should.  It's an all-you-can-eat, but NOT a buffet.  I've dined there five times, and look forward to the next!

SMOKING, DRINKING & GREAT FOOD!  Now, that's Heaven! The Brotherhood of Ahavath Torah Congregation held a fundraiser Scotch and Cigar Saturday night that was a huge success.

Thousands of dollars were raised, and everyone had an amazing time. Lee Elmowitz was the emcee for the event, with Rabbi and Temple President David Schulze taking a turn with the microphone.

Faces in the Crowd included Stoughton Veteran's Agent , Chief Operating Officer and Vice President Jeff Russell, and Michael Bellody, Co-Owner and President of Tiant Cigar Group in Fort Myers, Florida.
