But, this time the meeting was by Shaindy, and she always surprises us with these gourmet delicious things (and the rest of us are supposed to be the ones in the food industry). And this time, it was this post-worthy Poke Bowl.

What’s a poke bowl? If you’re cool with sushi, then you’ll love poke. A poke bowl is simply a salad with seasoned raw fish. They’re beautiful and delicious and gaining lots of popularity right now.
