"It’s a relatively recent invention, but Sinaloan sushi is a genre unto itself. Though the state is coastal and most of California-based chain Culichi Town’s dishes are seafood-centric (including a ceviche tostada topped with Hot Cheetos), rolls originating from the city of Culiacán are more dependent on cheese and the fryer than fish, which doesn’t appear in every roll. The Guerrero Roll, named for Ronald Guerrero, the California chef who created it, combines slices of beef and chicken, as well as bacon crumbles, woven with avocado and cream cheese and encircled with sticky rice in a battered jacket." - Alice Levitt
