Rollapalooza, Chicago (Lakeview)
I went here the first night I was in Chicago and while I was famished and would have thought anything was good my friends knew enough to take me to a pretty tasty sushi joint in Boystown. Since I was so hungry I started with the house salad, typically not a Betsy move, but this salad had crack like ginger dressing and started the meal on the right foot. To follow-up I ordered two rolls–The Summer and The Red Dragon. It was still about 90 degrees outside so the avocado and mango did not only compliment the summer roll, which comprised of tuna, but the weather as well. The red dragon included soft shell crab, a favorite of mine, and wasn’t saturated with the mayo sauce, finally a sushi place that understands that dressings don’t mean drownings. Another contributing factor to the sushi being good was that the fish was actually fish, no imitation here! I came hungry and left satisfied can’t ask for a better ending!!
