Wowie In Maui - Part II

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

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 ...

Wowie In Maui - Part I

Friday, February 1st, 2008

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, ...

See and Eat Seattle - Part I

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

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 ...

We Do It Big Island Style

Monday, October 1st, 2007

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 ...

Executive Chef Tony Liu Challenges Iron Chef Mario Batali

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

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 ...

Let’s Get On With the Shokudo

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

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 ...

Oahu… A Day In the Life

Friday, June 1st, 2007

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 ...

Finger Garlickin’ Good! - Sugoi Bento & Catering

Sunday, April 1st, 2007

Finger Garlickin' Good! - Sugoi Bento & Catering Doesn't allium sativum sound like some potent ingredient listed on the label of some dangerous cleaning ingredient? Well, it's potent alright, but believe you-me, it's far from dangerous. In fact, it's wondrously edible and delectable at that, and there are three "just gotta" ...

The Best Local Style Saimin? Shige’s Fo’ Shizzle!

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

With the rarefied (cold) air we've been facing these last few months, I thought now was as good a time as any to feature one of my favorite local style saimin spots to help keep us warm... All my life, I grew up a townie. Living in the Salt Lake, Pensacola, ...

Wednesday, November 1st, 2006

OK gangy... We're back as promised. Albeit a month overdue, we're back nonetheless. Another exciting round of good eats from our friends on the Garden Isle. *ding ding* Part 1 brought a lot of feedback and suggestions and I thank you all for that. Hopefully, I'll make my way back and ...

Osake to Me! Honolulu’s Newest Hotspot for Meets and Eats: Osake Sushi Bar and Lounge

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

OK, so I lied. We were supposed to still be in Kauai right about now, eating more of the mouth-watering treats that the Garden Isle had to offer. Instead, here we are, back on Oahu, consuming treats of a different kind: Sake and Sushi. But trust... whether you're a Japanese fusion ...
