When you're eating sushi, something's always in season.
Sushi established itself in America in the 1960s and '70s in Los Angeles. Since the cuisine made inroads on the West Coast, it's gone national. You can find restaurants serving dishes like nigiri in every state and can find stripped-down versions of popular dishes in American drugstores sold alongside cheese and crackers.
It's safe to say Americans are taken with sushi. But it's a genre of food with a long history and specific philosophy.
How much can we say we really know about it? Other than the fact that it's extremely tasty.
As part of our "Ask A" series, we take your questions to sushi experts.

Lost Debate - Defining Harris, Conflicting Polls, Declining Crime, Zooming to Class
Ravi recaps the latest twists in the presidential race, from why the Harris campaign has unexpectedly proposed another debate to the Trump campaign’s reasons for dodging a rematch. He then hops on the polling rollercoaster to explain what the numbers reveal and why results from some states defy traditional expectations. Finally, he turns to the FBI’s newly released crime data, the partisan battle over what the data reveals, and how strategic ad wars have helped shape public perception on the topic.
Former West Point professor Mike Kofoed then joins Ravi to discuss his eye-opening study on the effectiveness of remote learning on cadets during the COVID-19 pandemic. They examine what the study’s findings mean for students at typical colleges and K-12 schools, why conventional wisdom about online education might be wrong, and how the results should inform the future of education.
