A week ago, three young entrepreneurs launched a new concept: Sabi Sushi, a restaurant without a restaurant that takes orders online, fills them at a local kitchen, then delivers the goods to a predetermined downtown drop zone. “First there were traditional restaurants,” co-owner Shaan Puri told Laura Shunk. “Then fast-casual,…
