When a lobster outgrows its shell, it starts to feel cramped and uncomfortable. So it retreats under a rock, sheds its old shell, and patiently grows a new one.
Once the new shell is ready, the lobster emerges stronger than before.
Keep growing!

It was a low key end to 2024 with @dkmomus at @istanbulhawaii. They now bake their own fluffy flatbread for the mezze platter and it’s all I want to eat! Had my favorite manti, wagyu kofte, baklava and kunefe.
#HappyNewYear and cheers to 2025!

My family used to bring Jackson Market beef jerky to Hawaii as gifts since 1973! But they’re on their 3rd or 4th owner now. Still good, but the recipe has definitely changed. :(

AFTER 20 YEARS, I finally got my hands on a fresh, hot @goldengate.bakery dan tat! If you’ve been following me, you know the saga of how they’re always on vacation whenever I’m in #SanFrancisco.
Were they worth the wait? www.instagram.com/reel/DEHUhf0...

Oahu people: what’s your definition of town? I think bona fide townies know what the boundaries are. My friend Pam made her own lil map and I’d agree. But people who live just outside that circle, disagree.

It’s getting a little cooler…so @tanakaramenhawaii has launched two new seasonal items! The new Tonkotsu Curry Ramen and Ika Katsu will be available at all locations until the end of February. Since we were sharing, I also ordered a tofu salad (to be healthy) and chicken skin (not as much)

Sneak peek #1: 430 Pkwy opens tonight! I don’t think they meant to be like a speakeasy, but they sure were hard to find! A couple of us were standing in the parking lot, wondering how to get upstairs. When I finally got upstairs, I had to find the right door. 😜 www.instagram.com/share/BADbCm...
