Can't forget Benihanna!

The Clark tradition is the day after Thanksgiving at promptly 11:30am everyone gets to go to lunch at Benihanna's!  It's one of the kids favorite traditions I think, at least David's for sure!  So, we quickly accepted the invitation and the whole Clark clan met there the day after the big feast.

(Somehow I missed this post a bit earlier, oh well, that's my life for you, suprised I can get any posts up here in normal times)

We all love Benihanna, really it didn't take me too long to love it once I came my first time with the Clark's in 2009.  They have some amazing ginger salad dressing, great entertainment/chefs cooking infront of you, and the food is spectacular.  We've tried to make Benihanna rice several times at home, ours is okay, but they just do something better.  They call soy sauce "Japanese Cola" haha.  And when the little kids are there they love watching the food cook and the different designs the chef makes or messes with them.  Little Sam, when asked about Benihanna, can even immitate the chefs and how they cook, awe.  Other traditions are watching the bigger kids (well if you can call them adults) decide what kids they get to sit by and eat their left overs.  Even sitting by Grandpa Clark gets you extras.  I'd usually let David have some of mine, but since I was still SO FULL from Thanksgiving, I kept my left overs and ate them at home, although not as good right there in the restaurant setting.

Yay for Benihanna's!  What are we going to do next year if we aren't here!?!?!?
