They serve up an awesome menu of beer, cocktails, and food – definitely don’t miss it when you’re in town.  But that’s not the […]

When I go on vacation, I don’t want to eat at the same types of places I frequent at home. I want to eat local food, visit mom-and-pop shops, and go to the restaurants that are away from the tourists. I feel like you can learn a lot about a place that you are visiting […]

However, it would be quite a stretch to call the venues “eateries” or “markets.” That’s all about to change, however. According to the Honolulu Star Advertiser, ABC […]

Every time I stop for shave ice in Hawaii (or, more accurately, stop so my kids can get a shave ice), I wonder “where did this stuff come from?” After all, it could be called the most popular snack in the islands. Elsewhere on the mainland, you’ll find shave ice for sure (or snow cones […]

I’ll never forget going out “on assigment” to Kauai when I was working at the local T.V. station.
