Flavor fusion
Chinuk Sushi Grill and el Pedro Taco offer unique taste combinations
by Sandra Landen Machaj CORRESPONDENT
In February, on Valentine’s Day, a new and exciting restaurant opened just off the square in downtown East Troy. The Chinuk Sushi Grill and el Pedro Taco, 2919 Main Street, offers a fresh take at dining in the area. “We are an Asian fusion restaurant,” said Michael Salvatore, manager of restaurant. “We offer a variety of unique food combinations that appeal to many palates.” While many may not think of Asian Fusion and sushi as typical Wisconsin fare, it has been very well-received by customers, according to Salvatore. For some, this type of food has been a special treat that they were only able to enjoy when out of town where this specialty type of restaurant was available. To others, Asian Fusion food is an entirely new experience that often becomes a regular part of their dining experience. Asian fusion is a method of cooking that combines ingredients from different culinary traditions that may originate in different regions of the same country or from different countries and cultures.
