Don’t worry; I’m not talking about a dinner and a play or a musical. But I am talking about food, of course. Do you enjoy Chinese or Japanese food? Do you like being entertained? Do you like getting your money’s worth? Well then I have a solution for you!
This past weekend was my birthday (as you can probably tell from my last post) and I had the pleasure of having my birthday dinner at a hibachi grille. A hibachi grille is an oriental restaurant with a show atmosphere. When you walk into a hibachi grille, you will be seated around a flat top stove like those in restaurant kitchens. After choosing the meat of your entrée which includes choices like chicken, beef, shrimp, or scallops, a hibachi chef will bring his cart with all his supplies to your stove area. And the show begins.
The chef will toss his sharpened knifes all over the place and never drops a single one or cuts himself. He will juggle eggs around in his spatulas, and throw a couple into his chef hat. He will squirt oil all over the grille and light it on fire. You will definitely feel the heat from that flame so close to your face. He will throw food toward you so you can try to catch it in your mouth (which is a lot harder than it looks). Basically the chef builds your entire meal from scratch in front of you and then places it on your plate. Talk about interactive cooking! This meal is the perfect combination of excellent food and great entertainment.
The hibachi I went to was in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, which is about two hours from good ol’ Annville. So I did a little research and found three in the local area.
