Chef Omar Martinez of Tex Wasabi’s Rock-N-Roll Sushi-BBQ is well-known for pairing ingredients and flavors in new and innovative ways. The restaurant does this too by blending California style sushi and Southern BBQ for one of a kind food, with a funky and hip atmosphere. His fearlessness in the kitchen results in unforgettable ‘rockin’ dishes like the Screamin’ Gobbler, an uncommon take on the sushi roll featuring roasted turkey that promises ‘first you’ll gobble; then you’ll scream!’
