Not many people in Boston are familiar with the sushi burrito, the bizarre new dish that combines sushi with a burrito. The sushi burrito can cause anyone to freak out with excitement – especially us collegiettes when we see mouthwatering pictures online or on Instagram. During my visit to Philly last week, I was fortunate enough to try out the new trend. Here are some of the thoughts I had during my first experience with the new phenomenon:
1. *Your friend suggests taking you out for a sushi burrito* A what? Is that even English?
2. “Sushi burritos are really popular here!” Um, okay, sure… *Reluctantly agrees, but dubious*
3. *Walks into the restaurant, hoping the line is long enough so that you have time to actually figure out how to order this thing*
4. *Scrutinizes the menu to make sure there’s nothing weird in the ingredients* Wasabi with lettuce!?
5. “Can I have a…uh… Slammin Salmon?” *Sees wasabi being put into your sushi burrito* Wait! No, I changed my mind! I don’t want that!
6. “Would you like to pay extra for guac?” You put GUAC in sushi!? Um… actually, yes please.
7. Only green tea to drink… Alright, I can roll with that Japanese vibe.
8. *Gets sushi burrito* Oh, now I get it! This isn’t that scary.
9. *Picks wasabi out and takes a bite* Raw salmon, lettuce, cucumber, avocado, sushi rice… wow, it’s actually not bad!
10. Okay, I’m transferring to UPenn just for this.
If you love sushi like I do, definitely try the sushi burrito. In my opinion, the regular sized sushi burrito isn’t filling enough for a meal, but you can always order another (or five more). If you’re ever in Cali, Philly, or New York, you should definitely try it out. Be bold, collegiettes, and don’t be afraid – it’s really not as weird as it sounds!
