I grew up in Hawaii eating sashimi and sushi well before they were trendy and expensive. I love them, but still can't see what all the fuss is about.
Koji, my favorite sushi chef has imaginative and, yes, delicious selections. The best, in my opinion, is his On The Border roll. Tempura calamari, octopus, shrimp, spicy mayo and fresh slices of jalapeno in a sesame seed wrapper. Crunchy, chewy, warm, cool, and spicy. And that's just one of many I enjoy. I eat them because they taste good, not to be "cool." The wife and two little girls love it too. Oh, the Charred Cajun tuna roll rocks, too.
