"After returning from the Paris Olympics, I saw that Simone Biles made the Midtown Stick Talk Cajun-Hibachi one of her first pitstops; her husband Jonathan Owens picked up to-go orders that included two portions of chicken fried rice with vegetables and spicy garlic butter and an extra side of noodles, and Biles gave it her stamp of approval on Threads with the simple review: “Never misses.” The restaurant group’s co-owner said the team was excited she chose them after making history at the Olympics and even joked they might name a dish after her; Stick Talk is known for hibachi-style dishes fused with Cajun flavors and also received significant praise from viral critic Keith Lee during a 2023 visit." - Brittany Britto Garley
