back in the 90's there was a guy outside the wilsonville thriftway had the best bento i ever had for 3 dollars i dont recall his name i wonder what happened to him he sold out almost everyday.
I'm wondering if Bento has come to mean something else in America. Bento traditionally in Japan is a lunchbox, usually partitioned. Bento typically consists of a starch of either rice or noodles, some kind of vegetable, and some kind of meat or fish. Here, it seems to refer to something like a corn dog served on a bed of rice.
I'm not a fan of Japanese food, so maybe not. I used to date a gal who loved Benihana. I always hated it when she pleaded to go to the Benihana across from Washington Square. You know how it is when the gal you're dating pleads.
