Hibachi Luncheon – A Giveaway Feast for the Bellies and Eyes!

I’m a super-big fan of Hibachi.  Who doesn’t love dinner and a show, with great food?  Hibachi is a super-fun way to engage kids while dining out.  Not only do they see how food goes from the raw state to what’s on their plate, but they get to see fire, watch the ubiquitous onion volcano, toss shrimp tails in their mouths and watch the sesame seeds get sprinkled into their rice.  Now what kid doesn’t like sprinkles?

Sounds fun, right? Well, it tastes good too.  I’m getting hungry just thinking about the ginger salad, fried rice with shrimp sauce and stir-fried veggies.  Yum. 

Well, lucky for you, if you’re a Charlotte mom, you’ve got a chance to win lunch at Nakato’s with the kids.  The giveaway is for 6 moms to join us at the Pineville-Matthews Rd. location in Charlotte on Monday May 21st at 11:30.  We’ll have a private Tatami table and room, with seats on the floor!  In addition to snacks, lunch and dessert, everyone will walk away with a goodie bag including organic baby food samples and more!

Ok, now my stomach is seriously growling, so I’m gonna wrap this up and go have something Asian for lunch!  🙂  Enter our giveaway by Friday, April 20th.  We’ll select the winners using Random.org on Tuesday, April 24th. You can get up to four entries if you:

  • Fill out the form below. This one’s the freebie!
  • Tweet: “I want to win the Nakato Luncheon giveaway from @cltmomfaves!”
  • Share this link on Facebook (you can copy & paste this onto your status update: )
  • Leave a comment sharing your favorite food to order at a Japanese Steakhouse.

Good luck!

    I love the meat and chicken combo, sirloin, filet…doesn’t matter. But let’s get real here, the star of the show is the fried rice!
