Fire up the Grill @ Benihana


18601 Hubbard Drive

Dearborn MI, 48126

(313)- 593-3200

Hours: Lunch- M/T11am-2:30 pm

Dinner: M/T5:30- 10pm Friday open to 10:30pm

When you first walk into Benihanas the smell of Japanese food hits your nose. You smell all type of different aromas. You hear knives slice and food fry. At Benihanas you have a choice of having your food cooked in front of you or you can sit at the sushi bar. The atmosphere is so cozy. The lights are dimmed its so soothing. When they sit you at the table you set with people you dont know unless your table is a party of six. They are very clean...they clean the knives in front of your and reclean the stove.

Benihana is a Japanese restaurant. They sell steak, chicken, seafood and shushi. As a Japanese tradition they close at 2:30pm and reopen at 5pm for dinner. Benihana is know for cooking infront of their customers and having very skillful chiefs. Every cheif has to know how to do tricks in order to work there.

The food is delicious. They gave me a choice of a soup or salad. The salad isnt that well its has this yucky dressing. However, the soup is great. I ordered a lunch duet with shrimp and steak with a side order of chicken fried rice. My steak was very tender, and my shrimp were very good also. They were marinated in garlic butter and lemons. Benihanas is very big on garlic butter. I absolutely loved my rice. While cooking your food the chiefs does really cool tricks. They make hearts out of the rice, put shrimp shells in their hats, and make volcanoes out of onions.


If anyone ever dines at Benihanas I would recommend the chicken friend rice. If you dont get anything else, you must get the rice. I would also recommend you go for lunch. The lunch menu is half as expensive as the dinner. Lunch rages for $8.50- 10.00 while dinner is $17.50- 45.00. I think everyone should try Benihanas atleast once. Its a really cool experience.

Acceptance Letters

My acceptance letters have been rolling in but not to any of my top picks...Well honestly I dont have any top picks. I really dont know what school I want to go to. Ive been excepted to Western, Grand Valley and Michigan State. These are all good school but I still think I want to go out of state. Im still waiting on my decisions from Emory, Spelman, Purdue, Hampton, UT and UofM Dearborn. I have filled out millions of applications and still dont know if any of those schools are schools I really want to go to. I never thought this would be so hard.

My class is probably very aware of the fact that Im in high school taking college course. Going to college while in high school isnt as hard as I thought it would be however, its very time consuming. Its very difficult to do high school things while doing college stuff. I know next year when I go to college I will be very well ROUNDED. Having a job while in high school and college is pretty CRAZY!! I cant wait to the day where I can just focus on college.

Academic Paper

An academic Paper is by far the hardest paper to write. I dont know why but it is. Maybe its the fact that you have to have evidence for everything you say. I think its hard to right an academic essay if you dont feel strongly on the topic. Writing this paper will make me a better writer. Its going to help me write about things I dont really care about writing. In school all of your writing will not spark your attention.

A new job!

I was kind of scared that I wasnt going to get a new job because of my age. However, I got a job with American Eagle. I am very excited. I know this job is going to be different from Tall Girl but I love experiencing new things.

Midterm

I cant believe it is midterms already. This means we are half way done. With that being said I don't think I am as far as I can or should be. I never thought this course would be so difficult. In high school I was or am an almost perfect writer. I think I need to become a deeper thinker. I think I'm a deep person but I need to become deeper. I also think I need to have better time management skills. I feel so overwhelmed with the reading and keeping up with blogs. As a teacher I think Professor Stewart is great. She lends a helping hand its just up to me to grab it. It not that I dont think I need help or know how to ask for it I just dont know where to began.

QW

#1 Pg 45. There are a few issues that should be addressed in my community. However the one that sticks out the most to me is our school funding. I think that our schools spend "our" money wrong. Instead of buying new books they but scooters and install new cameras. Our school needs new sport uniforms and can even do with new books. I think instead of the district spending money on this for themselves they should be buying new wireless laptops or trying to expand our wireless access in our school. If I was a administrator I would do things so differently.

#1 Pg. 71 Through out my high school experience I think I learned the most in math and science. I used to think I had a very good English background until I started my college courses. The writing is so different. I think it was a better way high school could have prepared me for college writing. I think Math helped because it showed me study skills and help me with study discipline. I know use my study habits for math and science in my college course.
