PEGASUS NEWS IN DALLAS - If Dirk Nowitzki were a sushi roll, how would he taste? We'll give you a hint: not too spicy, with crawfish and cucumber. Stoked by the Dallas Mavericks' presence in the 2011 NBA playoffs, Dallas sushi restaurant Sushi Zushi is sharing its playoffs fever with new Mavericks-themed signature rolls. "The playoffs are so exciting, when we saw that the Mavericks were going further and further, we wanted to do something," said manager Josh King.
- The Dirk Roll has crawfish and cucumber with a special sauce inside, and is topped with escolar, avocado, on black tobiko, or fish roe -- "not too spicy," King said.
- The Kidd Roll has crab, cream cheese, and avocado inside, and is topped with orange tobiko, seaweed, "and some eel sauce to make it darker," King said.
- The Mavs Roll has shrimp tempura and cucumber and is wrapped with salmon and escolar.
Nice try Sushi Zushi, but the Benefactor didn't move to Dallas during the Lakers series. Everybody knows the Dallas Gay loves this place, what with its proximity to Ground Zero near Cedar Springs and Oak Lawn, and the fact that they serve mainly sushi. That sneaky Josh King may try to sneak one by those heading straight to Amateur Hour and getting caught up in Mavs hysteria, but you just can't get away with lines like "If Dirk Nowitzki were a sushi roll, how would he taste?" This is what separates the true Dallasites and MFFL's from the bandwaggoning D/FW transplant. You can't get caught up in the hype and miss these red flags in a time like this. Look, I'm sure the sushi tastes great and I hope they sell out of 'em during the rest of the Finals. However, I think I'll stick with high-fiving straight dudes while pounding beer schooners and demolishing fried foods, not sipping blue martinis and giving handjobs in the bathroom between quarters.
