Tenzan, a new Japanese restaurant on Columbus Avenue, has an odd menu. Some of the sushi items have a smiley face next to them. The smiley is a bold yellow, not unlike the AOL Instant Messenger emoticon.

The footnote says that a smiley face denotes a cooked ingredients roll. This is funny. Uncooked fish is the very essence of sushi. This is like McDonald's putting a smiley face next to its vegetarian items.
