Father's Day

To celebrate Father's Day this year, we went to the Japanese Shogun Steak House in Bridgeport for a culinary and cultural experience. I thought of it as dinner and a show. Bethany thought of it as an experience to be endured. Brian enjoyed the savory meat. Two out of three happy customers is not great odds for a restaurant.
I thought the steaming onion volcano was very creative. The gushing oil fire on the grill was exciting. The chef tossed around eggs, spatulas, lemon halves. He clanked around seasoning shakers. He caught things in his hat. Brian tried to catch a shrimp in his mouth. He was pelted with some fried rice, which I am just today trying to remove the oil stain. But Bethany just did not like the whole situation. I managed to feed her some white rice like a baby. She was turned off by the smell and the flames.
We ordered the habacchi chicken. I had a salad with ginger dressing, and some miso soup that was very salty tofu and seaweed. The fried rice and noodles were great, as well as, the vegetables. We had a mountain of leftovers. We had maybe three extra meals to bring home. Lily enjoyed some chicken. The atmosphere of the place was peaceful and open. There was a forest of bamboo growing in the isle way between sides of the restaurant. Brian wants to take Poppa there when he comes for a visit in August. I will feed Bethany before we go. A good time was had by most. :)
