Free Food

Yea! Free food!

An early memory of mine is of a school field trip to a hibashi grill. For $3 each, a group of fifth graders got dressed up, went to Benihana, and enjoyed the show. I loved it -- vegetables flying, seasonings bouncing off the edges of the grill, utensils twirling. It was great. I even ate the food. Picky eater that I was, that's a bit surprising. But I was caught up in the excitement. Hibashi Teppan Grill, Sushi & Bar is offering a free kid's meal with a dinner purchase every day until August 31. One kid under ten per family gets chicken teriyaki or chicken yakisoba after 5 p.m. An adult meal will cost $20-$50 and there is plenty on the menu in the lower end of the price range.
