Chef’s least flexible special
Sushi Cat
One grumpy loaf, wrapped correctly and served without explanation.

Counter Shift
By noon, the special had stopped being food and started managing the counter.
Counter Arrival
Claimed the cedar board before the first knife was sharpened.
Salmon Placement
Accepted one slice, then declined every follow-up question.
Nori Secured
Held together by seaweed and professional resentment.
Ticker
$SUSCAT, served without garnish or small talk.
Closing Time
Kept the board. Staff clocked out around him.
Nobody ordered him. He stayed.
