Barring Sushi........!

I recently changed departments, which is the nature of my job. I rotate into a new department and a new project every 6 months. This is a 2 year program that my company has, and then we go on to a static position. Anyway, so my old department is having a nice little goodbye lunch for me and another colleague (also in the same program). The girl who is organizing the lunch emailed and asked us to let her know if there was a restaurant we wanted to try. Well, there is nothing close to work that jumped to my mind, so I said
"Barring Sushi, I am good with whatever you choose".
The response cracked me up
"I wasn’t able to find Barring Sushi so we’ll go to Houlihan’s"

If it existed, I guess this is what "Barring Sushi" would look like........
