sasha_featherI am still extremely tired and today I cried for no reason. That was odd. I ate some leftover choco-raspberry cake that lilaia gave me, and that helped.
Mystickeeper said I should blog about my Strange Chain Restaurant experience.
My high school friends wanted to eat at HuHot Mongolian Grill. One funny thing was, we all showed up 10 to 15 minutes early for our dinner date. A Minnesota culture thing? IDK.
The food was OK, and there is a novelty aspect where you choose your own food and they cook it on a big grill in front of you (not food allergy friendly since it gets mixed up with other people's-- shared surfaces).
But I was disturbed by the menu. There is a Mongolian motif of a guy with NO EYES. Fierce eyebrows, a goatee, and helmet. Then the language:
Control your destiny. (Look what it did for Genghis.)
PREPARE FOR BATTLE
Advance to the fresh food bar and commandeer a bowl.
CONTROL YOUR DESTINY
Choose your favorites from a bountiful selection of meats seafood noodles and vegetables
POUR ON THE FLAVOR - The Essential Weapon
Ladle on our Specialty Sauces or express your inner warrior by creating your own unique blend from the ingredients provided. Use 5-6 ladles of sauce.
ADVANCE TO THE GRILL
Watch as your chosen ingredients are cooked before your eyes on our grill of epic proportions!
TAKE BACK THE BOUNTY
Behold your piping hot creation! Return to your table and enjoy.
RELIVE THE CONQUEST
The grill is unlimited, so mix it up again. Remember to leave room for the Final Pillage... dessert.
Antoine said something about how the staff must be carefully trained... because if they are encouraging customers to pillage, what else are they expecting?!!
This is all directly from their website. It's a chain restaurant that you can find in Suburban landscapes.
