Engage Your Chef in a Conversation

At the sushi bar you have a unique opportunity to talk with your chef about the food you're about to eat.

Let the chef know that you appreciate seasonal, sustainable seafood choices and that you'd like to explore new flavors.

Ask if the seafood is farmed or wild, how it was caught and where it's from. Your chef's answers will help you make good choices.
