Cooking up something different

Submitted by Ryan Arthur on Tuesday, August 31st, 11:13 am

Genghis Grill-The Mongolian Stir Fry, is a build your own bowl, fast casual, Asian stir-fry concept.

Customers like the "Build your own bowl" experience in which they can choose their protein, seasonings, vegetables, sauce and starch — then have their fresh-cooked meal brought to the table. The brand’s loyal fans also enjoy posting their favorite bowl choices on the Genghis Grill’s Facebook fan page. Genghis also courts to-go orders with its online ordering.

The atmosphere is colorful, lively, and a lot of fun! 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 warriors, led by the mighty warrior GENGHIS KHAN, heated their shields over open fires to grill food in the fields of battle!!
