Weekend Round-Up: Smart Octopuses, A Lego Super Car, And Over-The-Top Sushi

Instagram Is Ruining Sushi In NYC – Eater

In a sushi chef’s ideal world, sushi would be consumed within approximately three seconds of being served. Three seconds of perfect freshness, temperature, and composition – a delicate and short-lived combination that requires decades of practice for renowned sushi masters the world over. This fascinating Eater article takes a look at how the rise of social media and the cultivation of “Instagrammable” lifestyles has created a space for the rise of “stunt sushi.” In sushi eateries across New York City, chefs are forced to ride the #content wave, dishing out extravagant ‘gram worthy bites of rice, wagyu, uni, and caviar in order to stay relevant, debatably at the expense of the truly unforgettable (and Instagram-free) experience of a traditional omakase at the hands of a master.
