The chefs will joke, juggle eggs and use a display of pyrotechnics to grill your food.  The average cost of a hibachi meal, which includes two types of meat entrees, a side of vegetables, and fried rice, is roughly $20, so you can still have money for that Xbox game that comes out next week.

With one dish, like the double chocolate cake, you can fill both your own stomach and your date’s.
