do you know what to do it yourself restaurant is maybe why I don’t like them I’m Brooklyn Australia let’s talk about that good morning this episode is brought to you by road Mike’s people always ask is what kind of microphones do we use on our main channel to get that sweet sound we use the rode microphones the shotgun microphone is the ntg3 I had an adventure at a do-it-yourself restaurant and I want to share it with you because I want to get into the analysis of not only my experience but the genre of these type of restaurants in general I went to a restaurant called gyokaku right down the road from here yeah there’s one here and there’s there’s there all over la it’s a chain restaurant it’s Japanese barbecue it’s not a Japanese Steakhouse Japanese Steakhouse it’s shrimp chime in to your face I like it a hat right on our volcano I know about them yeah you just working one like you didn’t that really there’s a con key back home but their Japanese Steakhouse is every you know you know where they are the ninja chef comes out and does a presentation tossing food onto your plate everybody has a good time it’s a show kind of a thing you’re there would like you’re strangers and you can’t make an eye contact with the big guy at the end right I guess no not actually I haven’t actually done that I keep my eye contact on the ninja chef okay because I don’t want him to hit me in the eye with a shrimp that’s safer because he always thinks that’s cute or was it flames papa but this Do It Yourself is a different deal guy you Kaku is like a Japanese Steakhouse if the Japanese chef dude never showed up okay it’s you sit down at a table and there’s a hole in the middle of the table where flames come up and there’s like a gas powered piece of charcoal where you cook your own food over a grill so it’s the self-service do-it-yourself Japanese grill like a fondue restaurant but there’s not fondue yes Rhett exactly like that – the fondue there is a hole in the middle that you do stuff with if you take stuff from and you eat you are responsible for cooking your food yeah you do it they bring it they bring it to you and you cook it now at the recommendation of producers of commercial Kings joke and Biagio yes they were a fan of gyokaku so I don’t even know if that’s how you say it right well it’s it certainly appears to be pronounced that way so Christy I went there on a date just the two of us and our conclusion at the end of it was you know we should bring the kids here because they would have fun cooking yeah so the time came over the weekend that we decided to take the kids who said hey kid we got a treat we’re gonna take you to this Japanese barbecue it’s do-it-yourself especially Lily being the oldest you know she likes to cook she’s into that so we thought she’d be really excited and she was she was semi excited someone it turned out to be more of a mistake and it didn’t meet our expectations so this is what happened well we go in there and the first thing I noticed is that there’s no other kids I know it’s for kids and well cuz there’s like a bubbling boil hot oil thing in the middle it’s not hot oil it’s a piece of charcoal that’s really hot and so we sat down and they turn this thing on and it is immediately hot you know and I’ve got it I’ve got a two year old a seven year old and a 9 year old that wants to stick his face in it yeah anyway you know even Lando the two year old is he hot hot he’s like look at his face he’s like hot and it occurs to me you know what we would never invite our kids to come this close to the stove or to an open flame in our own homes but yes I’m gonna pay to take them out into public to get this is like taking a kid to a natural gas plant where they’re like burning off the gas in the middle of the night and they’re like hey kids let’s gather around the huge torch and let’s pay it mission to go to it and let’s put food into it so it starts to dawn on me that wow maybe this wasn’t that good of an idea it isn’t until you bring a two-year-old to guy you Kaku that you realize that everything there is flammable the napkins are flammable the the menus are flammable they’ve got chopsticks even though utensils are flammable kindling yes and of course Lando is grabbing all of these things and he there’s no food here so he’s just trying to throw him in there wait something he doesn’t understand that you’re gonna cook your food he’s like well I guess I’m supposed to burn my chopsticks right he’s thinking he needs to start the fire yeah so I mean we’re sitting here you know where he’s tossing things up we’re catching them more keeping stuff from going in I look over at the other table and this is two women and at first when we walked in they said your family is so cute well when I looked over at him at that point they were getting their stuff together it’s like they were they were gonna getting ready to evacuate for the imminent fire that was gonna happen figure out where the exits were eyes as big as saucers we managed to keep everything out of there but it quickly turned from let’s have a great family experience and let’s make memories together – let’s just survive if you know I the only upside I saw was that if anything happened if there was a fire I I was pretty confident I could get my family out and then the beauty of it as well you know it’s on their insurance you know yeah as opposed to being at my house let’s play with fire at my house when they probably have a pretty good policy considering they allow this they allow questionable looking men to come in with children and surround and get around the fire questionable looking men okay I I they should have turned this away at the door so that’s one strike against them for not looking out for not only our best interests but every other patron in the place I think when a family when the kids outnumber the parents they shouldn’t be allowed in this restaurant or probably any restaurant right but definitely a do-it-yourself restaurant right the other thing you know so I’m taking a stand against do you do it yourself restaurants but for that reason because they’re not kid friendly kids can burn things down but also I’m just not in to eating cooked meat and right next to it I’ve still got raw meat that I’ve yet to cook that’s just not appetizing to me okay so there’s there’s a there’s a health standard issue here right and then they give you your under the illusion that you’re being satiated but at the end of the mill you’re like I feel like I ate no more than what would be just an appetizer portion well yeah the thing that concerns me a little bit about it is you know when a chef cooks the food like if he cooks chicken for instance yeah he’s basically legally obligated to cook this chicken to a certain temperature but when your two-year-old takes the chicken and puts it on to the fire he doesn’t understand Salmonella any just you did let him cook video I told him all about Salmonella but you know I don’t think he kind of just glazed over yeah yeah he was just trying to get another napkin into the into the incense so what happens if you give yourself salmonella at a do-it-yourself restaurant who gets the bad press you questionable father or restaurant owner yeah I don’t know what the liability is I mean I didn’t read the fine print it’s risky it’s risky well if you go there you can read the fine print I understand I’m not going back I’m just not a fan of these do-it-yourself restaurants what about fondue though even ever were the FLL dance foreign language League oh yes back in the 90s this wasn’t a prom ride are you sure it was that fine I don’t think we I think we did we did we did like that steak house for the prom Second City grill his psycho City grill and then for the FLL dance I took Heather who are you with Missy Tarrant Sarah Jonna you yeah you took Sarah John I took Heather and we went to the melting pot the fondue restaurant were like ladies we have got a treat for you tonight there is this thing that you can do yeah you can dip your food into a boiling pot of oil you can put chicken on a toothpick and it’s silly but they’re so impressive to the ladies they didn’t seem very impressed but there’s just something about going to a place on a date and it’s fun for a date the only time that I would recommend doing it do it yourself restaurant is if you’re going out on a date and you don’t have the confidence to carry on a legitimate conversation with who you’re with so you’re just and as opposed to just sitting there and waiting for your meal at least you can under cook some some meat and then talk about salmonella yeah you can give your your day so I Manila so so if you’re in the dating phase of your life then maybe it’s for you but it’s not for it’s not for families so that’s that awkward pause in the conversation when neither of you knows what to say you just pick up a piece of chicken and put it into pot right or if it’s more make eye contact this is trick tricky because I think you should make eye contact with the lady while you’re putting your putting the chicken into the pot that is that could be golden advice there but don’t you know don’t burn yourself and then if everything is dipped or cooked then if there’s if neither one of you saying anything just take it put it in her mouth oh yeah yeah you don’t even tell her ahead of time just start going for her mouth with it you shouldn’t you should lock eyes you should take up the piece of chicken you should dip it you should lock eyes with her and then you should feed it to her let us know what you think about birth date Do It Yourself restaurant first date people somebody do that and then tell us on Facebook or Twitter how it went
