So before heading over to Slammers the other night, my friend Todd calls and asks if I wanna come down and sample some poke at his friend's place. If you know anything about me, you know that poke and I are one. Once he said the word poke, every word ...

To go along with yesterday's theme of getting old... yesterday we had a wedding shower for "eHarmony" (name changed to protect the innocent :P ), who is getting hitched in a couple of weeks. (Congrats eHarmony!)
Surprise!
We had the usual eats, games and gift giving/opening action, but we also shared a ...

My buddy Tommy and his fiancee Magaret came down from Californ-I-A for our good friend Dicson's (and Roda's) wedding. Last night was their last night here, so in true, Hawaii fashion, we threw him a Pau Hana, BBQ style. Here are some scenes from the night.

So your boy turned another year older in the 30s block this weekend. Hold the applause (or laughter). To celebrate, the peeps took me out to the new, funky sushi joint in Waikiki called Doraku Sushi. Since this is a blog, I won't get too into reviewing the place in ...

One of the greatest things about living in Hawaii is the multi-cultural nature of just about everything. From families to friendships to food, we were born and raised in a place that taught us how to appreciate each other's differences.
Nowhere is that more apparent in the cuisine we consume on ...

Our company recently completed a weight-loss competition, in which we - depending on how serious you were - stripped ourselves of the bare essentials. For some, these "essentials" included cake, pork chops, deep fried foods, or a combination of the three. For me, it was sushi!
Twenty one "out-of-thin-air" pounds and ...

We did nothing but feed our faces in the last one di'in't we? And nooo, it wasn't due to the "munchies" silly. It was simply because it was all *I* did during my westerly travels in Maui. But trust..., if you are patient enough, I'll make like Sean Kingston and ...

No, the "wowie" in the title is not what you think, Cheech. I'm actually referring to all of the exciting things you can do while exploring the beautiful island of Maui. And in true World Wide Ed fashion, let's take the logical approach and break this thang down by sections, ...

OK class, when we last left off, we ate up Seattle favorites like Piroshky, Piroshky, Le Panier, Beecher's Handmade Cheese Cafe, and Salumi's. This month, we'll be exploring Paseo's Caribbean Restaurant, Umi Sake House and Salty's on Alki, but before then, your homework assignment please.
Huh? You didn't do what? Don't ...

Ever notice that if you combine the words See and Eat, you (almost) get Seattle? Not quite sure what "tle" stands for just yet, but gimme some time and I'll figure it out. For now, let's just go with what nature, er, make that Doc Maynard has given us when ...

When you think "island style," you think Hawaii and our innate, laid back way of life. After two recent trips to the Big Island of Hawaii, I quickly discovered that we ain't got nuthin' on 'em. This here is true, island style living and I'm about to show how you ...

Congratulations to my former classmate and friend Tony Liu for performing well on Iron Chef America tonight (episode IA0508). A bunch of us classmates/friends (and I'm sure much of the rest of the state of Hawaii) were so excited and proud of him, even though he ultimately fell to his ...

Pops and I have this ongoing joke/battle with each other about where the best Japanese eats are around town. Hailing directly from the heart of Tokyo, he's got this unyielding, old school, traditional Japanese palate, while I have more of an open "nu skool" hunger for innovative dining experiences. Who's ...

Todd is your typical local boy. Born and raised on big plate lunches, beaches and BBQs, this pseudo-expat will get all emotional on you if he stays away from these for too long. So when he made plans to return to Oahu for a few days from his current/temporary abode ...
