My loco moco gallery on metromix marks the end of a very busy two weeks for me. My Guilty Pleasures gallery was due on March 1st, which was also the same day as a press event at Kapiolani Community College for the Eat A Rainbow campaign I helped organize for the local American Cancer Society. [...]
This week, I was fortunate enough to get another double byline when my Guilty Pleasures galley was featured in both Metromix and TGIF. Leading up to this gallery, I asked Metromix readers the question, “What food is your guilty pleasure?“ After a week of submissions, I contacted some of the more interesting entries and went [...]

Who makes the best saimin? That was the question posed by my most recent gallery on Metromix. What started out as a easy assignment turned into the longest running gallery shoot I have had to date. The main problem came as a result of the New Year. A lot of the best saimin restaurants in [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

When I was in Las Vegas for the Blog World Expo in October, I learned one of the basics of attending conferences. That most conferences don’t feed attendees, and if food is available, then it is likely cost you an arm and a leg. Thankfully, Fatburger was there for the rescue. Unlike other exhibitors who [...]

It’s been a particularly busy couple of weeks for me. After coming back from Blog World, I went straight into getting ready for the [re]Think Hawaii and Tedx Honolulu Conferences. Although I enjoyed the sessions and networking, I approached the end of the week slightly brain fried. Thankfully, I had just the thing lined up [...]

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 [...]

When I was in Las Vegas for Blog World, I was fortunate enough to get a ticket to see Beatles Love by Cirque du Soleil. I had wanted to see this show on previous trips, but $93.50 was a little steep, and those are for cheep seats! Best in the house seats will run you [...]

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 [...]
