'Deliverance' at The Cowfish

I ate lunch today at The Cowfish (4310 Sharon Road, thecowfish.com). The weather was perfect for dining on the patio, and at 2 p.m. there was a 15-30 minute wait to get a table inside or outside. This sushi-burger-bar continues to be a hotspot a year and a half after opening in The Village at SouthPark.

I just wanted to quickly share here this photo of what I ordered. It's called "The Deliverance Roll – Southern Style Bar-B-Q-shi," and is one of about 10 "Burgushi" items on the menu, which are The Cowfish's fusion of burgers and sushi. I'm not much of a sushi fan, so it was the other ingredients for this intriguing delicacy that piqued my interest, as listed on the menu: tender pulled pork, tangy barbecue sauce, and tempura onion strings rolled with seaweed and rice, tempura battered and flash fried to golden brown; each piece topped with homemade bacon coleslaw.

It tasted awesome!
