Yummy Hibachi

The past few days have been filled with many cultural events for me.  I watched a movie about mental illness, I attended a Catholic First Holy Communion mass, I watched the royal wedding while eating English tea cookies, drinking tea, and donning a hat, I ate at a hibachi grill, and I listened to President Obama announce that Osama Bin Laden is dead.  While some of these are definitely more important than others, I am going to blog about one that you most likely will not be hearing about on the news for days to come.

Saturday night was my first experience at a hibachi grill.  I think it was my first experience with eating while interacting with the cook, too.  It was so much fun!  The chef was hilarious, cracking jokes the entire time that he was preparing the food, which he did while also performing knife tricks and spontaneously tossing food either at our mouths or at other tables.  The food was extremely delicious, and it was especially satisfying to know that it had been prepared fresh.  The flames from the grill would sometimes flare up, causing my family and I to have to jump back suddenly.  This is definitely an experience that I want to have again.  Everyone should--who doesn't love eating delicious and fresh food while interacting with others, laughing, and having a good time?
