Teppanyaki is just plain fun, dontcha think? (James does — he begs Molly to visit Kobe at least once a quarter.) Japanese chefs juggle knives and throw fire while they prep, sear, and serve your meal tableside … it is Food Theater (and everyone gets a front row seat at the U-shaped tables). Kobe is […]
