About this episode
Black people don’t just love hibachi because it’s delicious, but also because of the spectacle of it. What more could you ask for than eating chicken and shrimp hibachi that has been cooked in roaring flames on a grill right in front of your eyes? We’re about talent, taste, and good vibes, and hibachi has it all. Jewel Wicker, entertainment and culture reporter, is here today for a discussion about our shared appreciation for hibachi, why Benihana is overrated, song lyrics that reference hibachi, and what a hibachi restaurant experience should consist of!
