Chef displays ninja-like shawarma-making skills

(CBS News) If like to eat at Benihana, you're gonna love this video. If you like a good shawarma sandwich, you're gonna love this video. If you like the Mortal Kombat video game franchise, you're gonna love this video. Actually, no matter what, you're gonna love this video. Click it. I dare ya.

See? I told you so. What's not to love? I'm fascinated with skills like these. I can only imagine this routine took years to perfect. Oh, and the part at (0:48) -- where he gives a machete-slinging, panini press half-time show -- AMAZING! I hope the creators of Mortal Kombat see this, and make this chef into a hidden character. He's already got plenty of weapons to choose from.

A big thanks to whoever the guy or girl is who posted this video. But you didn't include a description! How will we ever know how this happened? Here's how I imagine things went down:

"Hey buddy, what'll it be?" asked the unassuming chef behind the shawarma stand.

"I'll have two of the wraps please - everything on them."

"Sure." the chef replied. "Hey, that's a cool shirt."

"Oh, thanks. It's a Mortal Kombat shirt. That's my favorite video game."

And, with an air of confidence and visible excitement, the chef replied, "You just said the magic words, my friend. The magic words. Does your phone take videos?"

And the rest is YouTube history. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go pretend to be sick, so I can leave work and play Mortal Kombat all night. Plus, I'm hungry.
