Dissing the Corn Dog

As the Andagi crew at Kamuela Hongwanji Mission wrapped-up their day of cooking the carb-loaded dough balls they used the extra batter left to dip hot dogs into it for lunch. This wasn’t something they sold to the public, it was their own treat for themselves. They even gave me one to try and it [...]

Buffalo on a bun

I try to patronize local food vendors if I eat out for some local support. I’ve had the corn guy and chicken guy’s offerings from Hwy 130 near the Eagles in Kea‘au for nice dinner fixings. I kept driving past this Hot Dog Guy along the highway and decided it was the day to give [...]

Teshima’s North & Red Velvet Cake

Had the annual Teshima’s birthday lunch but this time instead of driving to Kona we cooked it up ourselves in Waimea. Not all of it shown in these photos as I was too busy eating. Tempura purple sweet potato, carrots, yellow squash, zucchini, onion, shrimp, namasu, rice, miso soup, dipping sauce, green tea and something [...]

New favorite Thai food place

Had food at Sukothai restaurant again in Pahoa. Food takes awhile to be prepared but it’s worth it, yummy stuff. I’m worried though that they may not stay in business long as there was nobody eating there when I dropped by to pick-up my takeout order, though two other people were ordering/waiting for their takeout [...]

Maui Grinds

Visited Maui for the day and of course one of the first thing you see after leaving the airport is Krispy Kreme donuts. I stopped for the $0.05 cup of coffee of course. Okay, I went touristy and had a pineapple fritter. I’d have to say I prefer the apple fritter at Waikoloa Village Market [...]

Pau Hana 7

- 30 -

I didn’t take many photos this night. You really needed a 10 and some Alien Bees. So staffers and even some ex-staffers and friends came out for my farewell get-together. Okay, the food and brew probably would have had them enjoying the night anyway but at least my escape from the paper stood as a [...]

Garlic Spicy Chicken

Lots of dots but where’s the com, net and org?

Spending a day shopping for hardware at Home Depot in Honolulu builds up an appetite, or at least that’s my excuse. So I decided to test out an iPhone App I have called Yelp that uses my location to make suggestions for places to eat or drink nearby. Yelp suggested Sugoi only about a block away. [...]

Shaka and suds at 777

Dennis at Triple 7 during my last night in Las Vegas. He hosted a BBQ at his place the night before, no photos of that as it was just too kick-back. Dennis practicing his shaka for a future trip to Hawaii.   Carly probably wondering if she could finish another Royal Red Ale. Triple 7 [...]
