Los Angeles is the city that introduced sushi to the U.S., and all these decades later we've still got the best in the country. Of course, being that this is a city of dreamers, innovators and weirdos, we've also done some strange things to sushi. For instance, the sushi burrito. Is it necessary? No. Does it look pretty? It does! Check out this gallery of sushi — and sushi-inspired creations — to get a sense of what this city is all about. Or at least what its people eat.
