What's an Eagle Rocker who's crazy-mad for sushi to do? He can rev up the car and cruise over to Little Tokyo every other night to feed his habit. Or, like mortgage broker Rudy Martinez, he can take a flying leap into the unknown and, with the urging of interested friends who have the same obsession, turn the empty space next to his office into a restaurant. A sushi restaurant. And in one fell swoop, cut the commute and gain his own commissary, so to speak, right next door, open for lunch and dinner.
