RE: Grandpa Gotta Eat—Kento: Hibachi On Wheels
Your food fights have become really fun to read, Glen. Before I see them I’m “I wonder where he went this week?”
In Los Angeles, as I’m sure you could imagine, they have food trucks with $25 meals. They’re the rare ones—I can’t name them all but many world famous chefs have food trucks in the city and everything is top shelf, line waiting to eat, the whole 9. Otherwise, for a Habachi meal like that with shrimp, I bet that $13 price is right in line with LA.
Great entry, @glenalbrethsen. Have a great weekend, sir.

Hey, @dandays.
I would probably expect to pay more at a food truck, but not what they charge in L.A. :)
I went ahead and made my own version tonight and will be reporting out on how much was spent, and what that ended up being per serving. It didn't come out exactly the same (need to grill everything next time, rather than following the recipe to use a pan on the stove), but I think it came close enough. And the rice, while not exactly what Kento served me, actually had a little more stuff in it.
I haven't done any calculations yet, but I'd be surprised if it ends up over $6 a plate. Which means, I could make $3.95 on every steak and shrimp plate if I were the only employee. :)
