"There's no such thing as a bad seat in this situation. And plating is simple and utilitarian," he says. "I think people should think about the utility of what a Teponaki style cooking can do for somebody."
Dave talks about getting seated at possibly the worst table he’s ever seen. The discussion turns to the politics of restaurant tables and the best solution for navigating them, including the 'Pretty Woman' move. The discussion then turns to the trend of experiential restaurants with a particular focus on teppanyaki, and other cuisines that might benefit from a similar treatment of food as performance art.
