Move Over, Sushi Burritos: Sushi Burgers Are Where It’s At
So far, the most “American” sushi I’ve seen featured BBQ sauce and chicken tenders. But this … this tops that. In terms of, you know, eatability, sushi burgers seem to be a lot less effective than sushi burritos. They’re not strong enough to pick up and eat like an actual burger, but I’m assuming that’s a testament to the chef’s respect for the integrity of the rice.

I’ve had my fair share of Reuben sandwiches over the years, but it wasn’t until my late 20s that I had a really good one. It became one of those meals that you can still taste years later. It wasn’t just the sandwich as a whole, but each individual ingredient and how they played together.
