Throw a shrimp in your
hat--it's Benihana! If you haven't been to one of these Japanese steakhouses,
you probably grew up in a shallow hole by a rural road outside of
a one-horse town with a pack of marmots as your only friends. Luckily
for us, our town has several horses, and a couple Benihanas to fill
our need for steak and showmanship. This joint is more about large
groups and communal entertainment than eating, but the steak is pretty
rockin' anyway. Get a group of buddies together, grab a large table
and watch your Japanese chef throw around his knives, chop shit and
toss your food into the air--all right in front of you. Funny enough,
our chef was from the not-so-far-East--Bangladesh to be exact--but
it just added to the funniness of the whole evening. It's just a big
party, and nobody cares if you yell. Hell, check out the wall of celebs
(Scott Baio, Danny Cooksey, Ralph Macchio, Rod Stewart, etc.) that
have chowed down at this joint. Who's the boss? You are, buddy! [MF] |
