- When 20-year-old Rocky Aoki came to the New York City from Japan with his wrestling team in 1959 he was convinced it was the land of opportunity. Just five years later he took $10,000 he had saved plus another $20,000 which he borrowed to open a Benihana steakhouse on the West side of Manhattan. His concept of bringing the chefs out from the back kitchen to prepare the food in front of customers on a specially designed hibachi grill was grnd breaking. The restaurant was such a smashing success which it paid for itself within six months.
- Here's a clone recipe for the fried rice at Banihana which is prepared by chefs with pre-cooked rice on those open hibachi grills.
