Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

The collage shows several rolls: spicy rolls with mayonnaise and masago, salmon and avocado rolls and rolls topped with fish roe.

Roger was frank: he had never been a fan of Sushi Deli, but the cheap prices balanced out the sushi snob in him. That is a value review, not a quality one, and the archive keeps it that way.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • Loaded specialty rolls
  • Low prices
  • A value pick, not a quality pick

Bottom line

Archive verdict

Never Roger’s favorite, but the cheap prices won over the sushi snob in him.
