500BestSquareBye-Bye Katrina Roll @ Sushi Brothers

DishStars_3
This is one of a number of sushi rolls created by the city's Japanese restaurants in the months after the hurricane. Rolls making fun of FEMA, the levees, and the like were on every sushi bar's list. This one was (and still is) better than most. The core is barbecued eel, shrimp, avocado, and tobiko caviar. Then there's the rice, and around that is snow crab and eel sauce. It's all held together with rice paper. Sells for $12, and is rather filling. It always comes to my mind when the weather reports make heavy use of the word "severe."
