Teppanyaki

Went to nurd_grrl’s 29th tonight at Edoko on Queen St.

This place is a lot of fun. Teppanyaki is a Japanese tradition of cooking at the table. And in a restaurant it’s all about being an entertainer as well as a cook.

We were served by the head chef, and there must have been like 15 people around this giant grill. He juggled his utensils, shot food into the air, caught leftovers like shrimp tails in his basket-like hat, and created giant columns of flames before our eyes.

One of the best parts, highly anticipated by the guest of honour, was an Onion Volcano (see recipe for onion eruption here). Basically the chef takes an onion half, inverts some of the segments to stack them, then fills the onion with flammable liquid and water. Light it up and a huge column of flame erupts from the stack. Awesome.

My dinner was a teriyaki salmon/steak combo. Fantastic, and the chef provided complimentary shrimp appetizers as well as rice and grilled soba noodles to top it all off. Miso soup and salad too!

Jen enjoyed her red bean ice cream for dessert. A fun place to go — a little pricey — but well worth the price for 3 hours of good food and great entertainment.

I’m sure we will go again.
