National Fried Rice Day Is On Sept. 20! Celebrate At Benihana's At Westgate Las Vegas

Benihana, the nation’s leading operator of Japanese-inspired Teppanyaki and Sushi Restaurants, is celebrating National Fried Rice Day with free rice upgrades. Taking place Thursday, Sept. 20, 2018, all guests who purchase an entrée at Benihana’s Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino location will receive a free upgrade of the restaurant’s unique signature dish, Benihana Fried Rice.

Officially designated by the  National Day Calendar, Benihana will further commemorate this new holiday by grilling Benihana Fried Rice for 42 consecutive hours, in an attempt to break the Guinness World Records title for “longest cooking marathon.” Benihana master chefs Andrey Shek (New York 56th Street) and Raymundo Mendez (Chicago Hancock Tower) will cook the Benihana Fried Rice over a 500-degree grill at two of Benihana’s flagship restaurants, its Midtown location in New York City and its Michigan Avenue location in Chicago. Guinness World Records rules permit chefs to take short, five-minute rest breaks every hour.

Located inside Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, Benihana offers one of the most exciting choices for a fine dining experience in Las Vegas. At Benihana, guests enjoy delicious Japanese menu options prepared exhibition-style by masterful chefs on Teppan grills. Exceptional choices include fresh sushi appetizers and entrées that feature free range chicken, New York strip steak, filet mignon and fresh lobster tail. The Benihana dining experience provides guests an authentic cultural adventure in a setting of lush Japanese gardens and flowing water features.
