teppanyaki chef
Tableside cooking entertainer
A teppanyaki chef prepares food on a large iron griddle, typically in front of diners at Japanese steakhouses.
The role combines cooking with theatrical performance—flipping shrimp into shirt pockets, building onion volcanoes, juggling utensils.
The teppanyaki chef put on quite a show while grilling our steak and vegetables.
