Spicy tuna roll & Crunch roll from Rolling Sushi Van
Rolling Ball

Even though I live close to the Fullerton #MiniTourTue location, I usually pass it for the Los Alamitos stop for one reason: parking stinks!

However, today Shortstopbbq tweeted they were debuting a new smoked Duck sandwich, which was duck, arugula tossed in a creamy vinegrette and crushed chips. I’m a sucker for duck (and that includes my hockey team). I braved downtown Fullerton for a sandwich and a cup of chicken noodle soup from Ohforsweetssake.

Martin texted me his order while he went to the Starbucks to stake out a table. (Hey, It’s cold outside!) He wanted the oahu shrimp taco from Dos Chinos, and sushi from Rolling sushi van: the Rolling ball, Crunch roll and a Spicy tuna hand roll.
