By now, just about everyone knows who Rachel Ray is.
To be fair, Rachel Ray SHOULD know what sushi is by now also. But she doesn’t. I mean, it’s not like she thinks a slice of turkey breast is sushi, but she does make beginner sushi confusion mistakes.
We at SushiMonsters decided to watch the Food Network on a Friday evening, for Rachel Ray’s top restaurant picks in the Los Angeles area. It was for her show, “Rachel Ray’s Tasty Travels,” and she went to a restaurant called Sushi Katsu-Ya (which has a very unimpressive website, by the way).
What’s pictured above is something Rachel Ray called sushi. It’s not sushi, kids. It’s seared tuna with a hefty cute little tower of avocado. Close enough, but it’s not sushi.
Nonetheless, despite Rachel Ray’s being confused on the subject, the restaurant does look pretty promising. Both of the above dishes are $15 each — more on the expensive side but not unbelievable considering the portions and the plating.
But back to Rachel Ray. I mean, her mix-up is disappointing but not all that surprising when you think about it. Rachel Ray calls St. Louis “St. Louie” and parmesan “parma-gee-ah-no”. But a world-renowned chef SHOULD know better, shouldn’t she?
