Sushi Battles at Their Best

In Sushi Smackdown,  sushi master Gino Mozeyani and his elite team of sushi chefs hit the road to challenge America’s top local sushi joints in the ultimate culinary showdown. At each stop, the stakes are high: if the local chefs can out-slice, out-roll, and outshine Gino’s crew in a three-round sushi battle, their restaurant walks away with $5,000 and serious bragging rights.

The challenge? Craft three exquisite dishes—a signature sushi roll, a bold poke creation, and a refined sashimi platter—to impress a panel of the toughest judges of all: the hometown crowd of local sushi lovers.

Every episode brings fierce knife skills, bold flavors, and high-pressure drama as tradition meets innovation in a no-holds-barred sushi duel. Who will rise like tempura... and who will flounder like bad uni?

Welcome to Sushi Smackdown—where every roll could make or break your reputation.
