Chopped Up In Pieces

About a week ago, I went to Benihana for dinner in Plano. I haven't been to a place like this in a while, and I haven't been more than one or two times in my life (unless you count Mongolian grill-type places).

Anyway, the food was great and I loved watching them cook everything!

Here's the 'clean slate' before the action (and a really cool looking plate):

Despite the fantastic (notice the sarcasm there) directions on the chopsticks wrapper, I stuck with the good 'ol fork this time......

The restaurant was dim and unique, which I love....

Here's another table's chef in action!

This was our view out the window - The Shops at Legacy is a very pretty place at night.

Here's our chef starting things out - making the fried rice:

He made a volcano of steam out of stacked onions! He called this the 'train' - choo choo!

Now he's getting crazy with a bunch of things going at once.....

The train's fizzling out now......LOL

It was great food and very entertaining (even if our chef was Mexican, NOT Asian) - hahaha.
