Sushi in strange places: Aloha Island Style Sushi—home of the Maui Wowie Stogie, Blow Torch Salmon and Surfer’s Revenge rolls—is now available at a number of local Maverik stores, including the Park City Maverik. Chef Billy Z. even makes that particular delivery himself, not via his beloved bamboo bike but by a new fleet of refrigerated delivery trucks. Orders over $100 are delivered free. By the way, says Billy Z., “We do weddings as long as we’re not the groom.” 336 W. 300 South, phone 801-DA-BEACH, AlohaIslandStyleSushi.com.
