    I've been eating sushi since the late 90's. As Black people become more globally sophisticated I think it will become something Black people may try here & there but not all the time.

    I was thinking the same.. I know wings and rice would sell..I lived in Nola and Asians profit the most from black people buying that daily.. Sushi is considered more upscale.. Thanks for your input..

    What's sophisticated about eating raw fish?
    Some of yall put these cultures on the pedestal then complain later about discrimination.

    He said “globally” sophisticated meaning “more aware of the world”…he never said sushi was sophisticated. Black Americans DO NOT eat raw meat therefore you have to be more GLOBALLY SOPHISTICATED to understand that there are other people that do.

    Sushi is for women and homosexuals, men who work hard don't eat that.

    I'm trying to gauge if traditional sushi appeals to black people.. Working in a pan Asian restaurant, and researching how many things on the menu would appeal to our people..
    Absolutely. I think it just depends on the demographic you’re trying to target. If you’re trying to target the hood you may have some issues. But middle class and above like sushi in my personal experience.

    Thanks Jay.. That's really what it boils down to, which market to target..

    Black folks that travel more eat a larger variety of food. That is the same for any kind of person. It is just something you do. Trying new food and travel go hand in hand. I personally don't like sushi. I had it once. It is not for me but my father told me it is because I had cheap American sushi. He said if you want real sushi, you need to travel for it.

    I eat sushi periodically. There used to be a sushi bar in the downtown Cleveland area I frequented and I ate there at least 3 of 4 times/week. It was shrimp tempura roll and a dragon roll. I tried this one dish called a rainbow roll where it was different sushi wrapped in a different kind of fish. It was good. But I've also traveled a little bit in my life and my dad always encouraged trying new dishes so I'm more open to try something new.

    Although I don't think I can ever get myself to try sushi, I will not knock anybody who tries it. I know there are more and more places that have it.
