11/29/21, Asahi Japanese Gril, Patuxent River, MD

 A standard venture to get Japanese food, grilled in front of us. Its your typical Benihana style place that's not called Benihana, ya dig? In any case it was Myself, Candace, Andre and Dave, and most of the pics that were taken are of the "artsy" type because everyone thinks they are Ansel fkn Adams, amiright? To be fair, we were supposed to go get BBQ this night (more on that later) but it was closed. So we had to pick another place and this one was already on the list to try. There was A LOT of food, which all consisted of some form or combination of steak, shrimp and chicken with fried rice and veggies. Personally, I skipped the rice. 

Besides, there was plenty of rice with the sushi, which was ordered in large amounts. And Asahi Super Dry in 22 ounce bottles! Just like I remember from Japan and it was ice cold, which is really the only way to drink Japanese beer. This video of Candace "oooohing and ahhhhing" over the huge fire pretty much tells it all. If I do, I will add it. Speaking of Candace, she managed to make friends with a local family about 4 seconds after walking in, so we sat with them at their grill table. I'm not sure exactly how that went down but there we were with a family of three telling stories.

The food was good, the fire was better, and we left full and with leftovers. Tomorrow we should be doing BBQ like we were supposed to do tonight. Hopefully the wait is worth it
