Can you improve the writing style used by this knuckle-dragging writer?

Question

"One evening, over dinner at a sushi restaurant, Stoeckle asked her father if the technique could be used on sushi, and a high school science project was born."

My beef is the use of the passive voice in the latter half of the "compound" sentence. Can you polish this t**d and make it better? Granted, it will be I who gets to judge this contest. So, do me proud!
