Best of Cleveland 2016: Kitchen View

You’ve got your DVR set to record all the upcoming fall series, but there’s another way to watch some must-see TV. Young’s Sushi in downtown Willoughby channels a Food Network vibe with a live stream of its sushi chef’s cutting board to a 27-inch Samsung flat-screen in the dining room. The low-key restaurant’s high-tech setup gives us a bird’s-eye view as chef and co-owner James Lee flashes his stellar knife skills — slicing through ingredients such as the avocado and tempura shrimp in Young’s popular crunch roll ($8) or tender lobster, crabmeat and avocado for the Young sushi roll ($15). We watch as Lee rolls the sushi in its nori paper and rice wrapper, then quickly slices it into pieces. But before you can say “commercial break,” the sushi you just watched being made hits the table. “A lot of sushi preparation, people like to watch,” says Lee. “It’s a little difficult for people to watch at the table if they aren’t at the bar.” 4082 Clark Ave., Willoughby, 440-951-0002, youngssushi.com
