Sushi Tacos Are A Thing

norigami-sushi-taco-1

There’s never a shortage of sushi-as-other-things around here. However, quite surprisingly, we have yet to see raw fish and rice in taco-form.

Norigami is here to change all of that, by bringing us the sushi-hybrid that we didn’t know we needed until this very moment. The seaweed ‘roll’ has been converted to taco shell-form with sushi components packed to the rim — as if it were from a legit taco stand.

The Southern California pop-up restaurant hopes to find a permanent brick and mortar shop, with a GoFundMe page to prove it. Check out more sushi tacos below and over at Instagram.

Sriracha Respirator by The Oatmeal

Recently, a few residents of Irwindale, California complained about hot chili-laced fumes in the air from Sriracha’s new nearby manufacturing plant.

Unsurprisingly, The Oatmeal has a solution to help make the air in Irwindale tolerable, and avoid any further motion to shut Sriracha down. Enter, The Oatmeal Respirator — Srirachalypse avoided. Thanks, Matthew!!

Surf Pops, Popsicles with Mini Surfboards as Sticks

To help promote the opening of the Deep Craft Atelier pop-up in San Francisco, Thought for Food created Surf Pops. Inspired by the surf-centric shop and its surroundings, Thought for Food came up with a trio of popsicles and packaging.

Flavors were made to reflect the sun, sand, and sea*, while traditional popsicle sticks were replaced with mini wooden surfboards. Even the coolers that helped distribute the Surf Pops were an homage to the local beach vendors, and 60s-era California.

*Sun (habanero peppers, lime, mango), Sand (almond, black sesame, caramel), Sea (cucumber, vanilla, mint).
