Roll On Sushi Opens In Austin

A couple months back a friend sent me a link to a YouTube video about
two brothers opening an Asian fusion restaurant in Austin. The concept
was simple. A place to enjoy sushi and sushi inspired dishes in a
social setting. Roll On Sushi could not have opened up a moment too
soon.

The concept is simple. You get an order sheet and you can check off
the rolls you want. They range in price from $3.95 to $9.95. The
average order will be around three rolls for the average person. My
order was four, and it left me filled like a great Thanksgiving dinner
would.

My "litmus" test for any sushi restaurant is the spicy tuna roll. It's
my go-to favorite. Roll On Sushi makes a FANTASTIC spicy tuna roll.
The tuna literally melted away. The next roll tried was the evening's
special, "The Surf 'n Turf". This roll is filled with soft shell crab,
avocado, goat cheese, cucumber, and seared New York strip! It was a
meal by itself and had so much flavor!

Next was "The Beefy Texan", which more than lived up to it's name.
Stuffed with beef brisket, spicy BBQ mayo, wasabi cole slaw, and
avocado this roll would be a great way for the non-sushi lover to
start.

My stomach, filled and content, cried "No more!" as my eyes locked in
on "The Elvis". The "King" was know for his love of his banana, bacon,
mayo, and peanut butter sandwiches. Put all that in an egg roll and
fry it then add a side of mayo or chocolate dipping sauce for one
experience you will not forget.

What is even more fantastic than the great menu and service is the
price. Even with a carafe of sake my bill was $35. The average person
would probably be around $25. Can't wait to come back to get my "Roll
On"!

Roll On Sushi is located at 5350 Burnet Road in Austin, TX. www.rollonsushi.com

Wreck This App for the iPad - More than genius in it's simplicity.

Before there were computers, iPads, and smartphones when there was some down time most would scribble or doodle to make the time pass. Now we check out new apps, Facebook, Twitter, and Foursquare when the attention for the day wanes away. Now there is something else that grabs my attention...

Kerri Smith created Wreck This Journal a few years ago and now we have in digital form Wreck This App. Each page has instruction that is open to interpretation. Doodle, scribble, write, paint, or picture on it. You can even post your versions online to Facebook and more. Great for getting the creative juices flowing!
