The Jewish Roll
The Japanese cats over at Crazy Fish restaurant in Los Angeles are just calling it what it is. No need to gloss things over by calling it a “Philadelphia Roll” or a “Brooklyn Roll” like other restaurants do. It’s rice and seaweed with a shmear and lox. The swirls of bright red smelt roe enhance the chef’s presentation, but come on, it’s still rice with a shmear. The fact that it’s kosher doesn’t make it right. But damn, it’s nice to look at.
