The Sporkful Presents: Why Hibachi Is Complicated

Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street Radio

Dan Pashman of The Sporkful brings us the story of Rocky Aoki, a Japanese immigrant who created hibachi restaurants in America when he opened his first Benihana in 1964. We hear from people who knew Rocky, see the skill it takes to be a great hibachi chef and look at what happens when the performance becomes problematic.
