AIR FRYER CHICKEN WINGS WITH ORIGINAL ANCHOR BAR BUFFALO WING SAUCE

DINNER AT HOME

Watching one of my favorite food shows and saw that the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York sells its Original Buffalo Wing Sauce by the bottle.  Went on Amazon and bought a 3-Pack of the sauce.  I liked that you did not have to mix the sauce with butter.  Simply cook your Wings and place them in a big bowl to mix with the sauce.  I Air Fried the Wings and they came out perfect.  The sauce had a perfect heat level and great flavor.

I really enjoyed Morimoto Asia.  Food and service were great.  My Wife loved the service but wasn't as happy with the food as me.  From the time we entered Morimoto the service was exceptional.  Our waiter was a super star and guided us through the menu and every ingredient and preparation.  He knew his stuff and when he described the Special Sea Bass we immediately said "bring it".  We started with the Hamachi Tacos.  Mini Tacos with a Wonton shell filled with fresh Hamachi.  The Guacamole and Jalapeño complimented the fish well and made these little bites the perfect way to start our meal.  Next up was the Tuna Pizza which has been a favorite of mine since eating it at Morimoto's original restaurant in Waikiki.  The fresh Ahi was delicious but there were Olives on the Pizza that shouldn't have been there.  Totally overpowered the taste of the Ahi.  I ended up picking them all off the Pizza.  The Sticky Ribs were amazing.  Perfectly cooked so the meat just fell off the bone.  A little bit sweet and a perfect little spice.  This is a must eat appetizer.  We went for the Black Pepper Beef because they do not prepare it at the table.  Some of the other dishes are brought to the table and cooked on a hot stone.  The outdoor terrace was pretty hot and filled with smoke from other tables cooking.  This all went away when they opened the sunscreens as the sun set.  I loved the Black Pepper Beef.  The beef was cooked to perfection and mixed with vegetables and a delicious sauce.  If I were not eating low carb, I would have ordered a bowl of rice and drenched it with the sauce.  We were going to order the Angry Lobster but when our waiter explained the Sea Bass Special we ordered it.  The Sea Bass was amazing.  Cooked perfectly with a nice sweet crust on the outside and moist on the inside.  This is why you go out to eat and pay $30 or $40 for an entree.  I am going back to Morimoto Asia to try some more menu items.  In my world this place rocks!

Delicious dinner with Cornish Game Hens that my Wife marinated overnight in Garlic, Rosemary and Seasonings.  Air Fried for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.  Crisp on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside.  So good!

We enjoyed our dinner at Heyday in Waikiki.  This retro spot in Waikiki takes you back to the old Waikiki with a pool bar complete with swings.  Just off the lobby of the White Sands Hotel, this restaurant and bar offers good food and drinks in an outdoor comfortable atmosphere.  The hotel and restaurant are dog friendly so we brought our dog and were seated at a nice table just at the back of the bar near a hot tub and small waterfall.  Our waiter was great and he engaged us all night, brought us sample drinks and explained pretty much every dish on the menu in detail.  We started with the Foie Gyoza which were delicious.  Next up was a Special of Grilled Kauai Prawns.  Again delicious.  The Kalbi Meatballs were also good but very dense and filling.  Loved the Korean vegetables served with them.  The Wedge Salad with Avocado was unlike any Wedge Salad we had ever seen but it was delicious.  We ordered a Chicken Satay to go with the salad and it was great too.  The Mahi Mahi Meunière was fresh, lightly breaded and pretty darn good.  I did not care for the large salad because the greens were the bitter type.  The Vichy Carrots served with this dish were terrible.  Both me and the Wife could not eat them.  Overpowering Curry flavor.  Definitely coming back!

SASHIMI AND LEFTOVERS

DINNER AT HOME

We had some nice leftovers from Pesca Waikiki Beach so we enjoyed them with some fresh Sashimi and Avocado.  The Fish and Beets were delicious the next day.  We were able to season the Beets, add some Balsamic and serve with Arugula so they were actually better than at the restaurant.  Really a delicious and light dinner before watching a movie.
