Hibachi Paragraph

Hibachi is a unique style of grilling originated in Japan, in which portions of food are cooked on a large flat grill, and it has recently seen a surge in America. From the intense flames to the silverware and food being thrown in the air, Hibachi thrives on a flashy, in your face style that constantly holds the attention of the audience and keeps them at bay. Americans love this technique because they notoriously have a very short attention span and need that instant and constant gratification. The reason for this can be traced to the rise of recent social media apps such as twitter, snapchat, and instagram that seem to not only dominate the internet, but people’s entire lives. These apps are by far the most popular in America, as for each one of these three apps, America has at least double the users than any other country. Just like most other social media apps nowadays, these apps have a reverse-chronological algorithm that leaves the user constantly consuming the newest and most entertaining content; the newest content from your followers and the things that happened the latest are the things that the user will see first. As a result, the users, or Americans in this case, always have an urge to see the newest and most exciting things that are happening, translating to an instant gratification complex and a short attention span in the real world. As Americans become less interested in things that aren’t fast paced, commodities and businesses that are able to constantly jingle keys in front of their audience are becoming more and more popular in America, hence the rise of Hibachi. This wave of social media has shown no sign of slowing down, which raises an important question; will the traditional restaurant setting of individual tables and food being cooked in a private kitchen become antiquated?
