Watch: Those Paddles Aren't Easy



Those Paddles Aren't Easy


Watch Robataya's manager host a friendly paddle competition between Custom Nation TV hosts Christian Finnegan and Camille Ford as part of their NYC sightseeing tour.

Our chefs make it look easy to kneel for hours and serve robata-grilled dishes to our guests using paddles. 

We bet you want to have a stab at it too, don't you.
Maybe you'll get to try it at our next event...(hint hint)

Thanks to Christian & Camille for stopping by.
Glad you enjoyed the food & had an "honorable experience" at Robataya!

You can see more of their unique NYC adventures here.
