They grill up the various parts and mix it with a batter to make the pancake. There was a long line to get in, so we sat at the bar where we had ours prepared for us, but the booths each have their own hot plate so you can cook it yourself. Awesome stuff and I’ve already looked for places to get this in Seattle now and there are a few. St. Louis – you have two places that I can tell. Just search okomoiyaki and your city on Yelp! and you’ll find some. Sorry, CoMo, nothing there…
