Jonah Hill’s Benihana-Loving Kid Character Returns to ‘SNL’ | Eater

"A teppanyaki-style restaurant where diners sit around communal hibachi grills to watch theatrical chefs perform tricks; the chefs' flamboyant routines — including shrimp tosses that draw applause but can sometimes be botched — are a core part of the dining experience and often create loud, comedic moments among tables. The lively, family-oriented atmosphere has even inspired comedy material: a real-life encounter there with a velour-tracksuit-wearing child who pounded the table rather than applaud helped shape a recurring SNL character that riffs on the awkward, joke-spewing behavior such settings can produce." - Greg Morabito
