The article points out the pros and cons to sushi along with explaining some of these new menu items chefs make to create "more interesting choices these days to satisfy consumer curiosity and demand for innovative culinary treats. Some of these dishes use duck, braised short ribs and more. Not the most healthy items to be eating. Here are some of the nutritional breakdowns sited in the article:
