So yesterday was my birthday. Since I was maybe 12, I always go to a restaraunt called "Benihana" for dinner. It's a hibachi steak house. There are many like it, but Benihana has always been the go-to for me. It's essentially dinner and a show. A delicious dinner may I add.
I always get the same thing because I know what I like...the Samurai Triple, or as they now call it, the Benihana Trio. Whatevs. Filet mignon, medium rare, chicken, and colossal shrimp with fried rice.
Don't forget to double up on your YUM-YUM sauce!!!
Double up - double up, uh uh!
But let's rewind a wee bit back to breakfast. I had to start my day off right, and that meant steak and eggs.
A thick rib-eye, medium rare, with two sunny side up eggs with shredded cheese. This is my dream breakfast. I would have added some potatoes and onions, but I was on a time crunch. Still, no complaints.
Of course you need to make that YOLK WATERFALL and then smother the steak all up in it.
Oh man, I'm salivating just writing this...
Well that was absolutely delicious.
How can you have a bad birthday when you start your day with Rib-eye and end it with Filet mignon???? I just don't think you can. Ya just can't. Not possible. I'm a testament to this fact.
The proof is in the pudding onion and mushroom soup, that only Benihana can make.
Since we are still under the boot of authoritarian jack wagons, we were maxxed out at 6 people for dinner. So it was me, my wife, our 4 month old son, my brother Zak, my Brazilian buddy Piter, and my other buddy Denver Dan.
Say HI guys!
After the soup and salad, the show starts. If you've never been to a hibachi style restaraunt before, this is what you're in for.
CHOO-CHOO!!!
After all the fancy show off moves and actual cooking, you do eventually get your food.
It just doesn't get much better than this.
What a great birthday!
Have you even been to Benihana or another style of Hibachi place?
You just brought some back. I've never been to a Benihana but my mother's really good friend would take her to Benihana every year for her birthday. So the following year I'd hear all about it.
Right on @intothewild.
You gotta try it bro, uh-May-zing.
Tell em Austin sent ya!
Ok stop, now you sound like her too.
me.....stopping.
Happy birthday @intothwwild, it looks and sounds you had a great day with friends and family. Ive only been to a Hibachi place once and we had a ball. We went ti the place with 16 of us and the dude cooking was throwing things up in the air with the perfect arc so that it could be snatched out of thin air by different people gathered around the table/. The food was tremendous and there was plenty of it.
Steak for breakfast and dinner, someone knows how to celebrate their birthday.
How old did you say you were, 29. Hell you're still a young lad.
Thanks pal! This place, Benihana, is pretty traditional in their hibachi style. The most they do is flip some shrimp tails in their pockets or their hat.
There was another place down the road that I got invited to one time, they were a little less traditional, let's say.
They would have a squeeze bottle of Sake that they would spray in your mouth from across the table...classy. Lol
Both a good time regardless.
Thanks for the wishes and swinging by @thebigsweed! Hope y'all are enjoying FLA! Send some of that heat up here please!!!!
Dam that is cold. Stay warm while I talk to Mother Nature and see if I can get her to move some of this warm air your way.
Happy Birthday @intothewild and your wife is such a cutie!
Thank you @zo3d!
I think she's pretty cute too!
Oh that is BADASS! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRO!
I have never been to a hibachi steakhouse smh. Lord have mercy.
Very nice sir (w some kinda weird accent:)
It is bad ass dude. You gotta try it out. If you don’t have a Benihana, just look for a Hibachi place, they all do it kinda the same, but in my heart and stomach, there’s only one Benihana.
Thanks for the b day wishes too!
Much appreciated, kind sir. Much happiness to you. Very nice ;)
Happy belated birthday!
Looks like you had a great time... and yes, it takes a lot to beat steak and egg.

Nice! I need to get back to one of these. We have one right around the corner from where I live that is privately owned. They do a really good job and the food is always amazing. People usually go there for their birthdays because you get a percentage off your meal equal to how many years old you are. Happy Birthday by the way!
