Inventor of the California Roll

Meet 62-year-old chef Hidekazu Tojo, who invented the California Roll in Vancouver in the 1970s.  He couldn't find any fish fresh enough for the sushi, and a lot of the Western customers didn't eat raw fish, so he invented the California Roll.  Apparently it was called the California Roll because many of his customers came from Los Angeles.
