I am almost in a dream remembering my first and only visit to Suehiro in 1984...My pilot friend Honey from Arizona, Johnny, my best friend from Cali, Colombia, and Wapo, one of Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo's lieutenants, had a crazy, boisterous time with the owner as our server and chef. Yes, it was all business, the kind of which you can hallucinate about and make your own guesses.
Now that I've found their website after 40 years, it's so wonderful to find that this establishment still exists! Their food was a 10 of 10 and can only be described as outstanding. Onward!
On that visit I was amazed that the owner could speak perfect Spanish to Wapo and Colombo Johnny, then perfect English to myself and Arizona Honey, then shout commands in Japanese to his workers. He used a spoon to shoot little shots of salt through the air across 6 feet of table, then 10 feet, then what, 15 feet? He did so while talking to us, laughing, and walking backwards from the teppanyaki grill where we were sitting....and each time he did so, we all did a complimentary shot of tequila. Salut.
I have done over 1,200 Google reviews and have posted over 5,000 photos. Strangely, as I move across worlds and touch base with experiences from my past, I have discovered that many of my favorite places are still alive on Planet Earth. How amazing after 40+ years. Some of those involved may not be with us any longer, however thanks to the pioneers who made it all happen.......
