Tepanyaki Anyone?
So, the three of us (Yoshi, Yoshi’s Mom and I), went to the Fuji Japanese Steakhouse today. If you haven’t been to one, seriously, you must go and try it. The atmosphere is pretty relaxing (well, usually it is), the chef is amazing and puts on a pretty cool show, and the food is deelish (yes, I pulled a Rachael Ray on you)! The best part? It’s cooked right in front of you, kinda Hibachi style. Yummo! Hehehe, another RR for ya.
It would have been even better had we not been joined by probably the rudest, almost in their 20s girls. OMG, I totally wanted to commit some kind of ‘not so nice’ action; however, I refrained. Unfortunately, I couldn’t help but see them since they were basically sitting at the opposite end of Yoshi and I.
When the chef was doing his thing the two were actually making faces at each other. They never said thank you for anything, that’s just plain commom courtesy there. People, our dinner included the following (for a great price): soup, salad, vegies, bean sprouts, fried rice and whatever your main selection is, PLUS a drink. They got in a bit of a snit wanting another drink and asking if they would get charged for it. Um, yeah hello, why wouldn’t they be charged?
But, what I absolutely couldn’t believe? Was when the chef was serving up the extra vegies, the second girl actually told him after he gave her some that she didn’t want that much and dumped it back on the Hibachi. I was like WTF?? Dude, you just don’t do that. I mean really, what the hell?
Other than that, it was great! 
Anyone have any experiences like that?

Yeah, you noticed them more than me. I was too busy watching the guy cook. He wasn’t getting much love at that table, they were really ruining it.

I would have bitch-slapped her. Seriously.

Cooks who work a Hibachi style get all the respect I can give them. Not only do they have to know how to properly cook the food but they also have to be able to put on a good show at the same time.
As for rude people in Restaurants…let’s not get me started on that. Some people believe that because they are paying for a meal that they are entitled to act in any manner they choose.
In the Restaurant where I work I’ve had to come out of the Kitchen two times in 4 years to forcibly eject patrons whose sense of entitlement got out of hand.

The older I get, the more I hate people. Especially young peoples. Terrible huh?

I love people. They’re great… slightly seared and basted in a sweet honey/BBQ glaze served with garlic new potatoes, cheesey broccoli and a fresh hot loaf of dark bread. It just makes my mouth water.

@yoshi I was trying really hard to be a good girl and NOT get up and smack the hell outta them both!
@danalyn Ooooh, I totally wanted to get my bitch slapping on. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve witnessed anything quite like it. Grrrrr
@abraxus Didn’t mean to get you started, sorry man…
@tiggerprr What? That’s not natural?
@cybrpunk Dude, that’s a bit creepy…yet kinda sounds tasty. I should probably see someone about that.

@yoshi Um, I think YOU should see someone about that.
