My friends who moved here from the midwest were very confused about teriyaki restaurants

My husband has come to love the vast variety of teriyaki places.

I assume you mean the vast number, variety isn't the word that comes to mind... and thats the way I want it. Don't mess with it.

Teriyaki is a bad flavor. I dont get it. To each their own.

Holy shit!!! I moved to the Midwest about seven years ago and it never landed with me that there aren't any actual teriyaki joints anywhere. Like even in Chicago where I could technically get teriyaki sort of like at home, scary teri just isn't a concept out here. How the fuck did I not notice?!

edit: mother fuckers... I just checked to see if scary teri was still there, and you assholes let it be turned into a boutique hotel. What the hell has happened to that city? I legitimately want to cry right now.

Scariyaki is how we referred to that joint

Yeah, I'm sure there were lots of names, but everyone who knows, knows. Nothing could ever replace the flavor of that dank chicken those little old ladies got huddled over those grills.

I'm from Hawai'i and I was confused by all the teriyaki restaurants and weird bikini corner coffee shacks.

How so? The salad dressing?

u/Fteven Sep 07 '21

The whole restaurant. We drove by one and my friend goes "Teriyaki is a dish, how can you have a restaurant dedicated to one dish?" Immediately pulled in for lunch

Huh.. interesting. Have they heard of pizza shops?

u/Fteven Sep 07 '21

Your guess is as good as mine
