BUT if you give this sushi corn dog a second look, you just might start to see how much sense this food mash up makes. And, how it could in fact taste amazing.

If you frequent Japanese restaurants -- at least the ones that dot the American urban landscape -- you know that there are a two items you can always find on the menu: A spicy tuna roll and some sort of tempura. From Arizona to Florida, these items will be on the menu -- guaranteed. People just like them a lot, and the spicy tuna corn dog was made as a reaction to that. It's basically a spicy tuna roll that has been tempuraed. That's right, folks, the bold man at Culinary Bro-Down has tempuraed one of America's favorite rolls and it ain't bad.
