I LOVE the Beach Salad at Sammy Beach Bar & Grill at the Kahului, Maui airport.  This is a chilled fresh salad with an incredible Chimichurri Dressing that Rocks like Sammy.  One of my favorite salads in Hawaii and perfect with a crisp, chilled chardonnay.

Not too impressed with the Everything but the Kitchen Sink Carne Asada Burrito from Las Pinatas in Kahului, Maui.  The Tortilla was not fresh and fell apart.  The Carne Asada did not seem like it was marinated or even seasoned.  Pretty much a large serving of Rice and Beans in a Tortilla.

We grabbed some Mama Pho takeout after a long day in Kona.  The Beef Salad was ok and the Spring Rolls were a bit bland and soggy.  I did like the Volcano Chicken which had good flavor and a nice kick of heat.

I love Huggo's on the Rocks in Kailua Kona on the Big Island.  This oceanfront restaurant and bar really does rock.  Food is pretty good and on this visit the service was excellent.  We started with the Poke Nachos which were pretty good.  I went with the fresh Mahi Mahi and it was delicious.  Not much seasoning but the fish was so fresh it really did not need much.  I topped the Mahi with a little of the Tarter Sauce and Cole Slaw and that combo was nice.

My Wife had the Fish Tacos with Sweet Potato Fries.  The Tacos had the same fresh fish but were a bit bland.  Maybe some fresh Salsa and Hot Sauce would have helped.  The Sweet Potato Fries were pretty bad.  No seasoning and mushy.  No crisp.  Hey the view and location make up for any food weaknesses.

DINNER AT HOME

It would not be a proper Memorial Day weekend without at least one Burger.  I made my Drew Burgers and they were delicious.  And yes, I even ate the bun.  This is my homemade version of an In N' Out Burger.  I even layer all the ingredients identical to In N' Out.  Taste pretty darn close and really satisfies my burger cravings.

Enjoyed Sunday Brunch at The Mai Tai Bar at The Royal Hawaiian Resort in Waikiki.

My Wife was craving their Truffle Fries and I just wanted to chill.  The Truffle Fries has absolutely no Truffle taste.  Zero.  Big disappointment.  The BBQ Cauliflower lacked flavor too and I would not order it again.  I went with the Thai Beef Salad and it was ok.  Shocked that they fried the Filet Mignon.  The Cobb Salad was way over dressed and soggy.  Recommend you order the dressing on the side.  Service and view were good though.

Hosted a VIP Reception at The Kahala Hotel for some of our customers.  The location at the Plumeria Grove was simply amazing.  The ocean views are amongst some of my favorite on Oahu.  There was more food than shown here but I failed to take photos.  For some reason I just photographed the Sushi and Poke.  Food and service was excellent.  What a great place to hold an event.  Picture perfect!
