SUSHI FELLA DELIVERS SUPERIOR ROLLS AND MORE STRAIGHT TO YOUR DOOR

BY MARY MURRAY ILLUSTRATIONS BY PATRICIA MALDONADO

For sushi chef Macia Malinowski, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a change in business model and a change of scenery.

Originally from Warsaw, Poland, Malinowski moved to New York City a few months after running the New York City Marathon. It was there, in the city’s fi nest sushi restaurants including Michelinstarred Sushi Nakazawa, that he honed his skills. When the pandemic hit and restaurants closed, Malinowski took a brief break and then realized: “I can do this at home, no problem.”

He started offering a madeto-order sushi service from his kitchen in Jackson Heights, Queens. Now, after a move south, he operates Sushi Fella out of his home in Lake Worth, creating platters of rolls, sashimi, and nigiri for customers, most of whom have found him through social media or by word of mouth. Orders are available for pickup or delivery, and Malinowski recommends placing orders at least one to two days in advance.

Malinowski’s menu includes a few standard sets, such as the made-for-two Double, the little-bit-of-everything Fiesta, and the loaded Killer, as well as a nigiri set and a sashimi set; he is also able to accommodate special requests. Here, we spotlight a few of Malinowski’s standout rolls. (instagram. com/sushifella)

COMING SOON The Chef & the Somm

JACOB BICKELHAUPT

At Konro, Nadia and Jacob Bickelhaupt (below, center) will off er a multicourse omakase-style meal with pairings. Highlights include chef Jacob’s A5 Wagyu (left).

«Chef Jacob Bickelhaupt and his sommelier wife, Nadia, want to welcome you into their second home—and they’re doing so with Konro, a new 10-seat, omakasestyle chef’s counter in West Palm Beach.

“As a husband-and-wife team, Nadia and I approach Konro as an extension of our home,” says Jacob, who has earned two Michelin stars and was named one of Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs in 2015. “In my experience at most Michelin-star restaurants there are multiple levels of chefs and staff who cook, prepare, and serve the off erings. At Konro, there is only one level of staff , just Nadia and myself, which is an extremely important part of your experience.”

The restaurant’s name comes from one of Jacob’s signature dishes: A5 Wagyu from Japan that is triple seared on a Konro grill over Binchotan charcoal. While the meat is the star, Jacob believes the tare (aged soy sauce that is sometimes mixed with mirin and sugar) is the most indispensable element. “I fi rst made my own over a decade ago,” he says. “Conceptually much like a sourdough starter, it is something that you keep indefi nitely, using it only to grill my A5 Wagyu and adding more as needed.”

For the pairing, Nadia opts for sake. “Although it seems very counterintuitive, the Wagyu is not necessarily the ‘richest’ dish on our menu,” she says. “Typically, you would think of serving a big red wine with a steak, however the Wagyu benefi ts from something lighter that brings out the beautiful fl avor of the meat and tare instead of overpowering it.” (konrorestaurant.com) —M.M.
