Hibachi: Eat as prepared, or wait till all food is prepared? (2 Viewers)

[dkersey]

I'm referring to the food prepared in front of you, not the items prepared in the kitchen (like the soup).

 

[Beakertwang]

I don't understand the question.

I think it’s whether to wait until the end of the chef’s demonstration at say, Benihana, or just chow down as stuff gets tossed on your plate.

 

[johnjohn]

seen people wait until the end. quite odd.

Please move to the WTF thread.

Correct!

 

[RowdyRawhide]

Is there a wrong way... I do strive for at least a beer per course

 

[trigs]

I don't understand the question.

See post #3.

I'm not seeing the option for both

FFS need to go and google hibachi now. This is the holidays. I’m not supposed to be doing anything educational.


Edit: it’s called teppanyaki over here (every day’s a school day). So to answer your original question I’d eat it as soon as it was fired at me... and I’d eat anyone else’s who was being polite and leaving it on their plate

I hate the idea of waiting for others food to arrive before eating. Mostly because I'd be mortified at the thought of other people letting their food go cold because I haven't got mine yet.

Some customs are just silly.

In this instance, I imagine you eat as prepared.

 

[raynmanas]

try to wait because it is all so good together, but definitely munch along the way. it comes out pretty fast anyway, at least at the places around here; it would be tough to keep up.

Being this is not a formal sit down dinner and at the Hibachi place, If you throw it on my plate I'm eating it right then and there.

 

[allforcharity]

Eat it as it arrives. Food temperature matters.

Ben and I also sometimes eat others food as they leave it behind

I don't know and won't bother to know what Hibachi is (hopefully some trusted brand like Hitachi).
I think people sharing a table should start eating together out of mutual respect, so their dishes should be ready at the same time.
Different courses can follow, but NOT at a random order (i.e. grilled seafood of fish NOT after, or with, the meat).
My stomach can be a cesspit but my palate is NOT one.

I like every bite tossed into my mouth directly by the chef. I’m good at catching them. I can never get them to dip the meat in the yum yum sauce first.

Ask @bentax1978...you put it in your sexy mouth.

What we talking about again?

If you're supposed to wait until everything has been served, they would serve everything at the same time. It's not a formal dinner.
