The California roll is a staple at sushi restaurants around the U.S. No matter where you order it, you'll find pretty much the same three ingredients — cucumber, avocado and crab (sometimes imitation crab) — rolled up in seaweed and rice.

Hidekazu Tojo came to Vancouver in the early '70s and started working at one of the city's only sushi restaurants, reports Food52. At that time, the average diner liked tempura and teriyaki dishes, but wasn't really interested in raw fish, Tojo told the publication. Is the rain finally over for California?
