Sushirrito is not only the name of a new restaurant found in the San Francisco Bay Area, it's also the name of the epic meals they serve. A hybrid between a sushi and burrito, people could easily mistake the Sushirrito for a large sushi roll in general. After all, the Sushirrito still uses nori as the wrap instead of bread. After all, that would be a lot of carbs with the rice included.
On the Sushirrito website, it states that it is "revolutionizing sushi culture," which is a bold and arguably controversial statement. It would be interesting to see the response from those who love these traditional dishes. Yet people are also looking for new and exciting experiences.
