Carlos Gonzalez is the owner of Roll On In Sushi and Buzzed Bull Creamery.

“There are dierent avors you want in the north and south,” Gonzalez said. “We added jalapenos to some of the items and sriracha to make it spicier.” While customers are ordering sushi, their curiosity is often piqued by smoke rising from the creamery. The ice cream is made via a cryogenic process involving mixing a proprietary liquid base, avors, toppings and small quantities of liquid nitrogen. It can be made with or without alcohol. Gonzalez said his favorite thing about owning this business is inter- acting with people. “The reason why I want to own this business forever is the customers that make a dierence to you,” he said.

Gonzalez acknowledges that there are many places nearby to get sushi, but the customers’ option to individ- ualize their order is what separates them from others. “The great thing about our menu is you can build your own,” he said. “The combinations are endless.” A corporate chef created the recipes, but franchisees are welcome to adapt them to their region.
