At least if you DIY, you can get the degree of doneness to your own
satisfaction, instead of having to hope they interpret things the way
you intended...  (G)   You'd probably still like the Japanese version
where they cook on the table-top grill for you, with all their twirling

Arigato Steakhouse and Sushi has that... we go there for the Sushi, as
our favorite sushi chef moved there, but we've seen the show from a
distance...  Someday we might try the steak...  ;)
