Miss Arkansas and Miss Teen Arkansas bring beach vibes to the kitchen with June rolls

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KATV) — If your June plans could use a little “beach vibes,” Rock N’ Roll Sushi is leaning all the way into vacation mode, edible flowers and all.

Miss Arkansas and Miss Teen Arkansas teamed up with chefs at Rock N Roll Sushi to create two specialty sushi rolls that will be sold throughout the month of June at five central Arkansas locations. The rolls were designed by Kennedy Holland and Amelia Lisowe, who came into the kitchen about three weeks ago to work with the chefs, rolling sushi and testing ideas before landing on the final recipes.

When customers buy the featured rolls in June, the proceeds will benefit a scholarship fund connected to the Miss Arkansas and Miss Teen Arkansas program. The money supports the Alpha Fitness and Lifestyle Award scholarship, which will be presented to one winner in each category, Miss Teen and Miss Arkansas, and also helps fund other year-round efforts with the organization.

The Miss Arkansas Roll, created by Kennedy, includes avocado, crab and cream cheese on the inside, is deep fried, and is topped with crawfish tails, spicy mayo and eel sauce.

The Miss Teen Roll, created by Amelia, is geared toward a spicier palate, with spicy tuna, jalapenos and cream cheese inside, then topped with fresh tuna, sriracha and crunchies.

And yes, the flowers on top are edible.
