Tenor CS is a Master Teppanyaki Chef

Tenor CS · 12-31-2008, 11:44 AM

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!

My Gangsta Pose

Outside the restaurant

Cutting off the shrimp tails

Notice my Mickey Mouse head rice (We are on Disney property, after all)

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

Ask ucubed, he was there.

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

Mugen910 · 12-31-2008, 12:13 PM

Did you make the volcano onion tower?

thanks for sharing Christian.

Tenor CS · 12-31-2008, 12:39 PM

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?

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

Don Fernando · 12-31-2008, 02:25 PM

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

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.
