Mateo's Birthday Dinner

We have a tradition in our house - we go out to eat as a family each Friday night and rotate who gets to pick the place (or they can choose to have delivery done).  Even the kids get a turn.

And when its your turn closest to your birthday, price is no object!  

Each year, Mateo chooses either Shogun or Katsu, where they cook the food right at the table.   This year he chose Katsu.   That's a happy birthday smile if I ever saw one!

Our chef is getting ready to make the rice into a beating heart.

 Troy enjoys it also, though he usually picks another place on his birthday dinner night - which is coming up soon!
