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 ...

Seeing and taking a photo with "The Admiral" David Robinson at Big Island Grill
Toddy Bear's Portuguese Bean Soup
Driving along the Hamakua coast
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Malasadas from Tex Drive-In

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
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" ...

Well, we've finally made it gang. The 3rd and final part in our Kau Kau Kauai series. Please! Hold back your tears!
In part 1, we spanned the Garden Isle for favorites such as Tip Top Motel & Cafe, Waimea Brewing Company, and Jo Jo's Shave Ice. The 2nd part of ...

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, ...

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 ...

So tonight I was named one of Hawaii's Top 50 High Tech Leaders by the Pacific Technology Foundation and Technology News Network, receiving both a Commendation from Governor Linda Lingle and James "Duke" Aiona as well as a Mayor's Award of Recognition from Mayor Mufi Hannemann.
The event was a blast ...

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 ...

OK, so you guys aren't big on exercise... I get it.
My attempt to foray from my usual food-related columns to an "outdoorsy"-type last month garnered five measly comments all month (four in the last half of the month). It got just as much action as one of my nerdy, computer ...

So I had quite the eventful weekend this past weekend... On Friday, Benji planned an Oxtail Soup run at Kam Bowl (Kamehameha Bowl for you politically correct peeps) to be followed by bowling. Unfortunately, they had leagues running all night so the plan changed to eating the famous soup and ...

Something fishy is definitely going on here... The airports have been bustling with college folk and local eateries and nightclubs are a' bumpin'. You're no longer alone at the beaches and malls, and there's an unusually large amount of parties and family functions to get to. And let's not ignore ...

So there you are. Sitting in your teeny little 5' x 5' cubicle, with no money or vacation time, daydreaming of getting away to a far away land... Preferably someplace that involves an exciting nightlife and good eats for cheap. No?
Ok, so you're not like me. Let me repaint the ...
