Aw man 🤦♀️. Catching up on your vids after a hectic friday and only had time for a pathetic looking banana early in the morning. I need ALL this gravy laden cholesterol/carb packed cheap eats, chowing down while sitting in front of my computer and simultaneously watching my favorite youtube channel. Too tired to drive anywhere so i will just satiate my needs with this footage and try another day🤤. I'm dyin' ovah hea ☠️🤌😅!

Wow Misty!! So much good food! I don't know where to start but I think you saves the best for last because that Lau Lau looks huge and delicious! And I'm def stopping by Ray's to get that Pork Cutlet and tne Garden Isle looks like a Chinese place local style with their big portions. Mahalo for showing all these good foods for a good price!! I like the new Thumbnails too, hoping to see some drone shots in 2024🤙✈️

Aloha Misty: This vlog really got to me on this nice, cool winter morning, 45 F, when I need a nice Hawaiian plate lunch to warm-me-up, nutritionally and in-mind - LOL! I am looking forward to a trip to Waipahu for the food, and to visit the neighborhood again - miss the old time feeling when the sugar mill was operating and when Arakawas, where I got my hibachis, was still in business. I look forward to your next vlog of the great culinary finds of our home island soon. Best wishes to you, and the ohana! Have a happy, and “yummy” holiday! Much 🧧 and 🤙, fellow 🐯!

Yes that old time feeling is surely disappearing. Nothing is really the same anymore and even the outer islands are losing old time places. Did you know Manago Hotel is closing soon? Have a wonderful week ahead and stay warm! 😊 🤙

@hawaiiguy19 ай бұрын
Yup, I was thinking when Chimere would be raising prices at Scoopers... they cannot survive with that low a cost on their plates. Love their toss salad with her homemade dressings (I like her French). The laulau they make is healthy but they don;t put any butterfish... it is all pork.
@harrymiram55629 ай бұрын
According to several close friends/relatives in the food industry, price of butterfish aka lingcod/sablefish is cost-prohibitive. No feasible profit margin
@FoodFiend9 ай бұрын
Surprisingly there was a small piece of butterfish in mine. Even if there wasn't I wouldn't complain due to her prices.

Mahalo Paul! I'm not sure what the story with comping is but that's none of my business. I am blessed with a great day job and with YT I can afford to pay for the meals and hopefully help these restaurants. Anyway we can claim the meals on taxes with the receipts so no need for comping for me. Thanks for your comment! I try my best to keep it real. 🤙
