Tenor CS is a Master Teppanyaki Chef
 

For Christmas, my wife got me the "Be A Chef" experience at Benihana. I got to visit twice, once to train, and once to cook for my party. Believe me, it is WAY harder than it looks!









It was a great time, and one of the best gifts I've ever gotten.

Looks like a total blast!

Re: Tenor CS is a Master Teppanyaki Chef

Re: Tenor CS is a Master Teppanyaki Chef
 

why wasn't I invited? Looks like you had some fun Christian.

Re: Tenor CS is a Master Teppanyaki Chef
 

Looks like an awesome time! How was the chow? :tu

Re: Tenor CS is a Master Teppanyaki Chef
 

That is cool! I want to do that someday!

Re: Tenor CS is a Master Teppanyaki Chef
 

Ask ucubed, he was there.

Re: Tenor CS is a Master Teppanyaki Chef
 

Very cool, did you get the shrimp in your hat?

Re: Tenor CS is a Master Teppanyaki Chef
 

Did you make the volcano onion tower? :tu thanks for sharing Christian.

Re: Tenor CS is a Master Teppanyaki Chef
 

I did do the onion volcano, but I was never able to catch the shrimp tail in my hat.

It was a blast, but I must say again, it is a lot harder than it looks. You need great knife technique, and a third hand sometimes because you have 3 main tools; spatula, knife, and fork.

Plus, the table is very hot (500 degrees) and it sits kind of low for me, so I had to kind of bend over a lot, and my lower back was killing me after each course.

It was TOTALLY worth it, though.

One of my favorite things to do when dining out :) Great Job Bro!

Looks like you had an awesome time. Good job on the onion volcano! i have seen the challenges on food network where even the seasoned chefs have a hard time with it.

did you get a chance to eat?

Re: Tenor CS is a Master Teppanyaki Chef
 

Yup, I was able to sit, eat, catch my breath and relax after each course.

Re: Tenor CS is a Master Teppanyaki Chef
 

by any chance, is this one of Ucubed family's restaurants?

Re: Tenor CS is a Master Teppanyaki Chef
 

Nope, their restaurant is called Rice & Co. But it was a bit intimidating cooking faux-Asian food for a real Asian whose family also happens to be chefs/restaurant owners.

Re: Tenor CS is a Master Teppanyaki Chef
 

ok that is way too cool....i dont think they have that sort of experience up here

Re: Tenor CS is a Master Teppanyaki Chef
 

did they teach you any bad jokes to tell when doing this style of cooking?

Re: Tenor CS is a Master Teppanyaki Chef
 

He knew you aren't a real chef, so he wouldn't burn you down.

The best Asian food I ever had was in a small roadside warung in Indonesia, Bali to be precise, the best sate babi ever.

I wanted to learn how to do the egg roll spinning on the spatula thing, but I'm not quite on that level yet.
