esa Chef Jared Lupin was exposed to the world of ramen and various types of sushi during a tour of Korea as a member of the Army more than a decade ago. Lupin, who was born in Torrance, California, was raised in various parts of Arizona, playing youth hockey and living what he calls the ‘hockey punk’ lifestyle. He found his life’s calling in Korea, where he studied culinary arts after completing his tour of duty. This calling allowed Lupin to learn a crash-course in the various forms of ramen, a hearty soup usually consisting of marrow stock and various meats and vegetables. Lupin also learned the art form of rolling numerous types of sushi rolls, which helped him launch a career as a chef in the Valley upon returning stateside in 2005. His latest endeavor might be his boldest, as Lupin embarks on the state’s firstever ‘hand roll’ sushi restaurant, called Dori Hand Roll Bar, which he opened last week in Phoenix’s Camelback district. Hand rolls are just as they sound, as they’re sushi rolls and customized, made to order to the diner’s tastes, featuring an assortment of meats and assorted fillers. The concept is bold, as it invites diners to sit at a bar with their own hand roll chef, offering an intimate dining setting from the chef directly to the customer.

at Republic Ramen, Umami Ramen and Shady Park, where he won ‘Best Ramen in Phoenix’ in 2019. The longtime chef sees an opportunity to establish noodles and hand roll sushi as Phoenix’s next culinary calling card. “It’s always pizza, tacos, sushi and burritos; but I’m thinking noodles are one of those things people really jump into,” Lupin said. “So, just the relatability of what people knew here, which was just packaged ramen “Dori’s kind of my chance to show people what I want to do with ramen and to showcase my style.” Lupin’s decision to focus his menu at Dori around hand rolls stemmed from a desire to make eating more of a social experience. He wants diners at Dori to have an ‘aha’ moment towards the culinary style he presents. He hopes they enjoy the food, the drinks and the interpersonal aspect of having a personal chef at their table, ca-
