7/16 Is it just me or it seems like all the Benihana chefs are
non-Japanese? The last 3 I went to in the past 2 years were
all Mexican chefs. What's up?
\_ The Japanese all have white collar jobs.
\_ Being a cook/chef doesn't count as a blue collar job.
\_ Uh, what do you expect? It's not like Benihana is considered
a real Japanese restaurant anyway...
\_ I went to the one in Monterey a few years ago b/c I had a gift
cert. I'm a sushi snob, and the sushi was actually surprisingly
good. (and reasonably, if not low- priced)
\_ I went to the one in Burlingame a month ago. All chefs there were
Hispanics. But then the restaurant first started in Tokyo by a
Japanese.
