It's actually not a cuisine, but an interactive style of exhibition cooking modeled after a centuries-old legend. According to this legend, 12th century Mongol armies, led by the mighty warrior Genghis Khan, heated their shields over open fires to grill food in the fields of battle. At Genghis Grill, diners "build their own bowls" from a selection of fresh meats, vegetables, sauces, and spices in Khan's Kitchen (a food bar featuring an array of over 80 ingredients). The diner then hands the creation over to one of our Grill Masters, who cooks it on a large, round grill in a matter of moments. Call it build your own stir-fry fun, unlimited variety, interactive, and delicious! When it comes to Mongolian Stir-Fry, we are the experts. After all, we are the Official Mongolian Stir-Fry of the World. In the summer of 2001, we hosted eight Mongolian Judiciaries, including the Chief Justice of the Mongolian Supreme Court. We shared food and vodka, and took part in some traditional Mongolian rituals. The highlight of the evening was the signing of a declaration by the judges making us The Official Mongolian Stir-Fry of the World.
