Just when you thought you’ve seen it all.
He came in to the restaurant tossing around a synthetic disc the size of a small pizza. A Frisbee? I wondered. What a strange thing to bring to a sushi restaurant.
This man, who I would later learned goes by “The Phoenix”, proceeded to spin said U.F.O on his finger, then on his back, then under his leg, then in the air—while he did a hand stand.
It was plastic pizza dough—”The Phoenix” is the second best dough thrower in the nation, and third in the world. I introduce you to Ryan Larose of The United States Pizza Team, who partied in NYC’s East Village last night after his national victory.
I asked him what I could do with sushi. Turns out the possibilities are endless.
