Nowadays, with ATX restaurants making national best-of lists on the regular, we’re not behind the curve, we are the curve. And that’s great. But every once in a while we put aside all pretense of cool and go collectively apeshit about some California import (lookin’ at you, In-N-Out), and that was the case when sushi chain Kula set up shop in a strip mall off Airport Boulevard to dish out nigiri and ramen and mochi off a conveyor belt. And it was fun: minimalist fare gamefied for maximum face-stuffing, and Instagram’s arteries clogged with sushi selfies.
