No Spring Roll For You!

Israeli yuppies, unfurl your sushi mats and plug in those rice steamers!

Because if this article is an accurate indicator, you may be rolling your own Hamachi Makimono in the very near future.

Asian restaurants across the country went on a one-day spring roll strike on Tuesday in protest over government plans to rid kitchens of foreign chefs, and said sushi and noodles would be the next items off the menu.

The restaurants are angry at the state’s plans to purge Japanese, Chinese and Thai eateries of Asian cooks and replace them with Israelis as part of a broader program to cut the number of foreigners working in Israel.

Que? Israelis are going to be put in charge of Asian fare?

Well knock me over with a bamboo pole dipped in harissa. And get me to Japantown pronto! This is an emergency!
