Joe Rogan’s Favorite Sushi Spot Comes to Dallas | Eater Dallas

"I learned that chefs Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee are staging a Sushi by Scratch pop-up at the Adolphus hotel in downtown Dallas, running December 8 through February 8, 2024; the intimate, speakeasy-style omakase will seat 10 people per meal (5:00, 7:15, and 9:30 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday) and serve 17 courses, with reservations reportedly available now. The coverage also notes that controversial podcaster Joe Rogan — described in the article as an infamous racist, misogynist, transphobe, and Islamophobe who spread misinformation about ivermectin for COVID — is a big fan of Sushi by Scratch, that Lee promoted the omakase via an Instagram reel featuring Rogan (and even mentioning Elon Musk), and that Rogan's approval is repeatedly highlighted in press materials; Lee has also appeared on Rogan’s show to discuss his food." - Courtney E.
