((this was on Eater 3 days ago, and he was at Morimotto, and in Japan under a master)) When LES sushi spot Sushi Uo opened four months ago, it had two main points of distinction. First, it was hidden away on the first floor of an apartment building on 151 Rivington and had ambiance to spare for a sushi spot. And two, its "sushi master" was a 23 year-old white dude. Well it was fun while it lasted. Word comes from the Twitter and a hostess confirms that said 23 year old chef, David Bouhadana has left the restaurant. The reason for the split is unclear. It could be that owners want someone with more experience under their belt, but reps say he left for "other opportunities" (perhaps he's off writing his book). The new chef trained at 15 East.
