PHOENIX – A sushi restaurant inside Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport has come up with its own take on the Japanese dish: the Arizona roll, which is just a California roll covered in sand.

“Like many food creations, this happened as a fluke,” laughed Carl Miyazaki, owner of fast-casual sushi joint On a Roll. “I was making a California roll for a customer when I accidentally dropped it onto the floor. There had just been a wind storm in the area, so sand was everywhere. The person who ordered it was going to be late for his flight, so I didn’t have time to make a new one. I just went with the flow and told him it was our house special. He ended up leaving us a great review on Yelp, so I have been making them for oblivious tourists since then.”
