Mom's Birthday at Benihana's

I have a little saturday post for you all, I know, I know, out of my comfort zone!

So my mother recently celebrated her birthday, at Benihana's as you can tell by the title (you little cheater!)

If you've never been to Benihana's it's a place where the chef cooks right in front of you. It's so cool and I'm super excited to share the experience with you.

Before we start I wanted to share some super duper exciting and scary (for me) news.. I've started a YouTube Channel!!!! I've really wanted to for a long time and today while I was editing another video I decided to grow some balls and just do it. So here's my trip to Benihana's in video on my vlog channel which is here.



Please, Please, Please give the video a thumbs up as I'm just starting out and I need all the support I can get. I'm slightly terrified and it's a whole new world for me. *inserts aladdin 'A whole new world' song here*

So now that you've watched the video, without further ado, here's Benihana's in pictures!

It was a great time and I enjoyed it a lot. I definitely want to come back again. The service was great and I loved how you could see everything the chef was cooking and putting on your plate, there was absolutely no mystery meat or sauces, that's for sure.

If you've never been to Benihana's you can find them here. I would definitely recommend a visit, it's great for kids, a first date, or celebratory party.
