Sushi owes much of its appeal to the contrast between tender raw fish and chewy seaweed wrapper, much like griffins owe their appeal to the contrast between lion-like hindquarters and exceptional math skills. Revel in unlikely pairings with this Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of authentic pan-Asian cuisine at Diva Restaurant in Lakeview.

Diva's chefs burn the midnight oil until 4 a.m. as they churn out authentic Thai dishes and creative sushi rolls packed into a lengthy menu of rolls, rice, and noodles dishes. The spicy massaman curry tantalizes tongues with a blend of peanuts and veggies ($9), and the pineapple fried rice turns down the spicy-o-meter to zero with a calm and cool ensemble of egg, cashew nuts, and choice of meat ($8). A creative lineup of sushi rolls helps sate meativore and plantivore appetites with offerings including the Diva vegan-lover roll, brimming with avocado, cucumber, and shiitake sheathed in a soy wrap ($8), and the deep-fried Drag Queen roll ($15 for eight pieces) entertains meat eaters with layers of shrimp tempura, avocado, and cream cheese encased in an edible replica of Cher's infamous black bodysuit.
