  2. I CHARGE $125 FOR A DINNER PARTY—HERE’S HOW MUCH I ACTUALLY MAKE 💰 💵 REVENUE Ticket Price: $125 per guest Guests: 18 Total Revenue: $2,250 💸 EXPENSES Ingredients: $300 (No, the cheap stuff won’t do—your stomach deserves better) Wine: ~$300 (Because I’m not about to serve boxed wine to my guests. 🙅‍♀️) Ambiance (flowers, candles, menus): $100 (Turns out making a place look nice isn’t free) Miscellaneous (cleaning, photography, ubering friends home etc): $360 (You think you’re prepared, but then something always goes sideways) Electricity, rent for the space, my outfit: Unaccounted for (so I look cute while I cry in the kitchen) Total Costs: ~$1,060 (This can decrease when we partner with founders who sponsor wine and produce for our events) 🔥 PROFIT Before Taxes: ~$1,090 After 30 hours of work, my hourly rate = ~$40/hour (Remember when I said I wanted to be a millionaire chef? Well, this isn’t it. 😂) So why do I do it? It’s not about the money. If it were, I’d be doing something completely different. This is about creating something real—something that goes beyond just a dinner or a night out. It’s about pushing myself, stepping into the unknown, and showing up for the people who trust me to bring them together. When I look back at my 30’s in NYC, I want to know I was building something that mattered. The sleepless nights, the doubt, the grind—the small victories that made the madness worth it. This is what I’ll be proud of. This will be my story. What’s the one thing you hope to look back on and be proud of when you get older? video inspiration from @potatoislike

  3. ✨ 大阪最奢華的鐵板燒體驗 ✨ 這是我第二次造訪,這次特地帶家人一起來,如果你是和牛愛好者,@mahoroba.teppan 絕對要來試試! 從頭到尾,每一道料理都像藝術品一樣:精緻的前菜、新鮮的海鮮,以及在你面前現場烹調的極品和牛。 🔥 亮點是—— A5 夏多布里昂和牛菲力,厚切、極致嫩滑,細膩如絲的口感入口即化,還帶有濃郁的和牛風味。每一口都多汁、香濃、帶著奶油般的滑順,卻完全不會膩。 還有現烤活龍蝦,鮮甜多汁。甜點原本是他們招牌的法式吐司,但我們實在太飽了,只好改成清爽的冰淇淋收尾。 離開時一樣大滿足,更開心這次能帶家人一同體驗。人均大約 30,000 日圓,但說真的,這份體驗遠超過價值。 👉 如果你要來大阪,記得收藏這一間。依舊是我吃過最棒的鐵板燒之一🔥 The Most Luxurious Teppanyaki Experience in Osaka 🔥 Back for the second time — this round with my family, because once wasn’t enough! If you’re a wagyu lover, @mahoroba.teppan is the ultimate dream. Their teppanyaki omakase is worth every yen and more. From start to finish, each course is a masterpiece: delicate appetizers, fresh seafood, and premium wagyu grilled right before your eyes. 🔥 The highlight? A5 Chateaubriand Wagyu filet — thick-cut, unbelievably tender, with a fine, velvety texture that melts instantly yet carries a deep wagyu flavor. Every bite is rich, juicy, and buttery without ever feeling heavy. They also served live lobster, grilled to sweet, juicy perfection. Dessert was supposed to be their signature French toast, but we were way too full — so we finished with refreshing ice cream instead. I left full, happy, and so glad I brought my family this time. Around ¥30,000 per person — and honestly, it feels priceless. 👉 If you’re visiting Osaka, save this spot. Still one of the best teppanyaki meals I’ve ever had.
