…well not really, but that’s what the restaurant was called. To rewind a bit, the Ducks set off on a big road trip a couple weekends ago. The first double game weekend for all the newbies, meaning not just one but TWO nights in a hotel to bond with our teammates. But the best part about the weekend, besides playing and winning both games in overtime (which in retrospect may have made things a bit too exciting), was definitely the Ducks "Night Out" on Saturday. Everyone got dressed in their best and we set off to eat some delicious Hibachi at a great restaurant called Tokyo which was not too far from our hotel. All the girls were excited to get to eat a "real meal," one that we did not have to pay for, and get to spend time with all the parents who drove so far to come see us play. Unfortunately the restaurant did not have a big enough room to fit everyone, so we had to sit the parents in a different room. Lucky for them they were the lucky ducks that night because the chefs decided to go to their tables first and let them have dinner before all the starving players. Fortunately for us, we found a way to keep ourselves entertained by throwing pieces of ice on to the hot stovetop. That is, until Coach caught us, but soon she too realized how entertaining it was and everyone was enjoying the sight of the sizzling ice.
Finally the chefs arrived at our tables and we were all EXTREMELY happy to have the delicious food being cooked right in front of us, especially Kara who had been practically salivating in her impatience to eat. The chefs put on a good show juggling their spatulas, throwing eggs and catching them in their hats, and of course the best part, the onion volcano!
The food was delicious and the chefs provided some great entertainment for us. Needless to say, our tummies were full and we all had the energy to play in the game on Sunday.
