#NationalFriedRiceDay

To all my fellow fried rice fiends—oops, I mean friends—Benihana has declared September 20th National Fried Rice Day!

Chef Raymundo Mendez-Benihana

To commemorate the new holiday, Benihana’s own, Chef Raymundo Mendez, will cook the signature dish for 42 consecutive hours in an attempt to set a Guinness World Record.

The celebration kicks off today at Benihana’s flagship location in the John Hancock Center and culminates on Thursday, National Fried Rice Day, with diners receiving a complimentary serving of fried rice with the purchase of any entrée.

The inaugural event will also raise awareness for the city’s less fortunate.  All prepared food during the 42-hour marathon will be donated to Cornerstone Community Outreach, a nonprofit responsible for feeding the homeless.

Stop by September 18th through the 20th to support a good cause and cheer Chef Mendez to victory. At Benihana, fried rice isn’t just another side dish; it’s a foundational element of every meal!
