East Side Sushi Page #2

I've got five more bentos to fill.

Hey, Juana. Come over here.

- It's Juana.

- Huh?

- Juana.

- Oh, sorry. Juana.

Slice them just like this.

Sure, no problem.

Hey, forget the dishes today.

We keep you on food prep.

Can I bring my own knives in?

Sure.

Hey, can you come in 30 minutes earlier

tomorrow morning?

- I can.

- Good.

- Buenos dias.

- Buenos dias.

I have worked with lots of

Spanish-speaking people over the years.

So I had to learn some Spanish

to communicate.

Good.

That's the fish truck.

Here is what we are getting today.

I will show you how I

select the freshest fish.

If you don't know how to,

they are gonna select it for you.

You don't want them selecting your fish.

Okay, your fingers should not leave a dent.

Nice and firm.

And the eyes should be clear, not cloudy.

And check under the gills

to see if it's too dark.

The fins are broken.

Yeah, that's also bad.

Hey, what are you trying

to sell our new employee?

Tako.

Ah, like a taco?

Yeah, I guess so.

Okay, let's move this stuff inside.

Lunch!

Lunch is served!

Try it.

I've tried those once before.

They're okay.

Where did you try?

The supermarket.

So you've never had a good sushi,

fresh sushi.

Okay.

Hold them like this.

- It's okay to use your hands.

- I got it. I got it.

That was amazing.

Can I have another?

Now slice all of these cucumbers

just like this.

And store them in the fridge here below.

Sure.

Wait. Let me see your knife.

Yeah, this can work.

But maybe you want to upgrade

to a nice carbon steel later.

Now he's going to get it!

Oh no!

Aye, Lydia.

You're not supposed to be up. Come on.

But it's not done yet.

Now!

Are those Zombies?

Yeah, this is a good one.

I just ask that you put her in bed by 9.

Please.

You're the one who took that job.

Why do you want to make me feel

guilty for that?

She's in a good school, she'll have

medical benefits soon.

I've always put you and Lydia first.

Always.

Can I just do this for me, for once?

You're the mother. You know what's best.

"Ebi. Shrimp.

"Shrimp."

"Tako, octopus."

"Tako, octopus."

Tamago, egg."

Tamago, egg."

"Wakame." What is that?

Thank you.

Wait. Put it down.

But it's already in my chopstick.

Please.

First, mix some wasabi

and soy sauce together.

But don't make it look like guacamole dip.

You just need very little.

And now you dip it.

And eat it.

Mmm-hmm.

Mmm! Mmm.

It's so smooth, so... Suavecito.

It's sticky.

It's vinegared rice.

Yeah, it's very good.

It's not "very good," it's vinegared.

I have a little surprise!

Oh.

What do you got there, chamaca?

I'm starving!

I think you're going to like this.

But first, you have to be open
