Where In Hawaii is Edward Sugimoto? – December 2, 2009

I’m pretty excited today. Not so much for anything other than the promise of this post’s potential comment count.

You see, if history is any indication, the Japanese food shots tend to get a lot of action comin’ in from da regulars and lurkers alike. On top of that, this Hawaii restaurant is not exactly a “mainstream” one. Combine that with the fact that the dish looks it could be from anywhere, and we’ve got the perfect storm. Record-breaking comment count hurrr we come! Muhahaha!

OK, I know somebody will probably get it early and burst my bubble, but a fella can dream right? In the meantime, please help me congratulate da 4 winnahz from last week (kuya.d and snow with 2 points a piece, and Coconut Willy and rayboyjr with 1.5 points a piece). I kinda like this multi-point per week scoring action. Congrats!

This week, we’re back on Oahu, but I think (and hope!) it’ll be quite the challenge. Put on your thinkin’ caps and guess away y’all!
