Cesar Derdugo is the chef at Yoko's Uptown. What may be odd is that this is a Japanese restaurant owned and operated by Mexican-Americans. There are no Asian folks working here. The art of learning to make sushi can be picked up by any chef who either studies at a school or is personally taught by a Japanese chef while you happen to be working at the restaurant in some form of preparation or cooking.
Here at Yoko's a bit of Mexican flare can go into the creativity of the sushi as well as some of the appetizers and entrees. We had dinner of some sushi rolls and a seaweed salad.
A Mexican breakfast is not complete until you've had migas, scrambled eggs with tortilla chips and jalepeno peppers. Nancy Millar's favorite spot to eat them is at the Spanish Room. I, on the other hand opted for French toast with an apple cinnamon sauce.
Time to depart as I chose to be patted down again at the airport. Let them figure out if it's harmful after someone sues! Bye, bye McAllen.
