"Special Sushi at Nusr-Et Steakhouse: Perhaps the most ill-conceived dish of the year is the so called special beef sushi at Salt Bae’s restaurant Nusr-Et, which was all misplaced panache and no flavor. Tiny lozenges of sushi rice are formed, then smothered in miniature cloaks of raw shaved beef. They are then incinerated with a blow torch as awe-struck diners look on, partly in fear. Finally, some potato straws are crushed on top for this meager appetizer (three pieces for $20). One piece barely constitutes a single bite." - Robert Sietsema
