Everything you never knew about sushi-its surprising origins, the colorful lives of its chefs, the bizarre behavior of the creatures that compose it-is revealed in this entertaining documentary account by the author of the highly acclaimed The Secret Life of Lobsters. When a twenty-year-old woman arrives at America's first sushi-chef training academy in Los Angeles, she is unprepared for the challenges ahead: knives like swords, instructors like samurai, prejudice against female chefs, demanding Hollywood customers-and that's just the first two weeks.
