But see - I've already learned how to penetrate the Cone of Silence, crack the FDB code, and make you all reveal where the best sushi chef in town is.

Go see Komei Horimoto at Horinoya. You're welcome.

No disrespect, but my anticipation for

is slightly dampened by

On the other hand, this Shogun of which others have spoken appears to contain, in addition to a sushi bar, one of those large griddles, closely surrounded by diners, over which presides a sad Japanese-looking man, inwardly contemplating hara-kiri, performing that chopy-chop routine with some Grade D steak and a bottle of teriyaki sauce.

Let's just say I'm ... dubious of such a place ....

Everything at Shogun sucks except him. It's not the place, it's the person.

Well if that's your mindset, you're not going to be happy anywhere

Just about everything. No other city in America has an indigenous food culture like New Orleans.

But I've been focusing on the thread topic - what's missing.

Hey now, that's quite a sweeping generalization.

My point was that teppanyaki restaurants in America pander disgracefully to American ignorance of Japan.

You said "a sad looking Japanese man" in reference to a hibachi cook. The fact is those cooks are very rarely Japanese. I guess you just assume they all look alike. Might also explain your basic misunderstanding of pizza from Naples.
