Before Hollywood shuts down, I have a few meetings…one took place in – where else – a strip mall sushi joint…

…Hirozen is small but cozy. It was the chef’s birthday!

We split a few things – one of the many special salads…

…beets + pickled cauliflower with apple/cuke/microgreens…


…avocado, as well!

We also shared the Albacore Clear Roll…

…tuna, avocado, mango, cucumber, and sushi rice wrapped in rice paper…

…Scallop + Spicy Tuna…

…I wound up eating two pieces of each one.

A little BYO Dessert…

…Vosges Black Salt Caramel…yesssss….

…vacation begins very very soon for everyone I know – hopefully you too!

Wow, loved this post! Your photos are really making me hungry! =)
How’d you like the “clear sushi roll”? I’d think the texture would be too reminiscent of a Vietnamese goi cuon, for better or worse.
Happy Holidays to you and Abe and Julius!
It was terrific! Lighter than a spring roll too.
