Over the past month, my new favorite food porn site has become foodspotting.com. Unlike other food sites that just post pictures of food without telling you where they are from, foodspotting keeps a restaurant database of every photo entered. So if you see something that you absolutely have to try, the restaurant information is right [...]

My most recent Metromix gallery has probably been my most personal to date. Since it is the Christmas season, I was feeling nostalgic, so I thought it might be interesting to revisit some of the restaurants that my family frequented when I was growing up. This idea really struck a nerve with my family. They [...]

It’s Monday, and as I mentioned in yesterday’s entry, today is my first post on the Fresh From The Grill blog on Metromix.com. What would the topic for my first Grilled Cornbread post be? How to make grilled cornbread of course! Well, it’s not just that. I preface the post with an explanation of how [...]

Needless to say, I’ve had a lot of time on my hands since my accident back in April. If I’m not at physical therapy, a doctor’s appointment or putting in light duty time at the American Cancer Society, I’ve spent my time networking. The fruit of that networking has resulted in me joining a group [...]

My latest Metromix gallery was posted yesterday. It was the first (well second if you count my Pearl Kai gallery) of my new project for Metromix. Prior to my joining Metromix’s team of freelance writers, all of their contributors lived in town. I am currently the only person on staff who lives towards the west [...]

Despite being at Blog World, I was still able to put together another gallery for Metromix.com. The idea for this gallery came about when Melissa, another free-lance food writer, told me that Guy Fieri was going to Murphy’s Bar and Grill. This drew an immediate reaction from me. As I say in this most recent [...]

Earlier this week, a gallery of some of my favorite desserts was published on Metromix.com. I am now excited to report that the part of that gallery was published by the Honolulu Advertiser in it’s weekly TGIF Restaurant guide. When I was notified about the Advertiser picking up my article, I was shocked to say [...]

Despite being out of work, last week turned out to be pretty busy for me as I was once again working on another gallery for Metromix.com. This time, they decided to utilize my expertize, and asked me to put together a gallery of my favorite desserts. It didn’t take long for me to put together [...]

In case you haven’t noticed, despite having the use of only one hand, I have been keeping myself busy. After the first two weeks of staying at home doing noting, I decided to get out of the house and do anything that didn’t involve sitting on a couch at home.
One of the activities that I [...]

About two weeks ago, I was approached with a very interesting offer. I was asked to put together a gallery of my Top Ten favorite eateries for Metromix.com. I was instantly on board for this opportunity, but then I was stuck with the dilemma of narrowing down all my favorite restaurants on Oahu to ten. [...]
