  • When you want sushi in Texas, you go to one of Tyson Cole's restaurants. Uchi, Chef Cole's first restaurant in Austin, is where his life as a restauranteur began, but his dedication to perfecting the art of sushi started long before. Starting as a dish washer, Chef Cole knew that all he wanted to do was become a sushi chef, so he worked as hard as possible to achieve that.
    We headed to Austin to see where Cole's career began and learn more his approach Japanese cuisine.

    saying that a non-japanese person cannot make sushi, is like saying an american can't cook french food. food is universal, and anyone can learn anything if they have the passion and right mindset

    I have seen so many crazy psudo-sushi fusion videos, but this was not one of them. This chef is a good translator of sushi and Japanese culture in a decent American way. The dishes looked really believable and delicious even to my Japanese eyes. If it were in NY, I'd definitely pay a visit.

      honestly I don't see that as a problem, everyone has a taste preference.. have seen plenty of japanese people dip their nigiri into soy sauce to make the piece significantly heavier, and they didn't have a single issue with that, eat however you want to lol

    To be a master of any skill or craft or trade requires tremendous passion and desire to always learn and be better. This has all of that. I dont care if he is white, black or purple, this guy is extremely sucessful and is making some of the best sushi in the world. Better then 90% of restaurants in japan. You will never see him on restaurant takeover or kitchen nightmares.
