Everyone's doing what I'm doing right now. Talking, Twittering, blogging, Facebooking about the death of Michael Jackson. My cynical self is telling me to stop already. To not be one of those wailing, hyperventilating King of Pop fans. I wasn't one when he was alive, and I'm not one now. But part of me — OK, most of me — can't help b...

My hunt for lunch wagons

My hunt for lunch wagons
When we decided that a lunch wagon round-up would make a good cover story for TGIF, we knew it was going to take some time — and a whole lot of driving around the island, eyes peeled for parked trucks that might be selling some kind of food. Over the course of a few months, I, and whomever I could cajole into going with me, circled this ro...

Chef-owner Bruno Iezzi opened the second location of his Mix Cafe about a month ago. Mix II, as it's refrred to by the staff, is everything the flagship Mix is, minus Bruno's amazing pasta (but the Beretania Street location still has it), plus paninis and an expanded breakfast and salad menu (both are still in the works). Here are 10 reasons to ...

Last Wedenesday marked the official opening of a new little lunch-only eatery on N. King Street. The Lemon Grass Cafe, though its name implies otherwise, it isn't so much a cafe as it is a community center that serves plate lunches. It's sort of an enigmatic concept to try and wrap your brain around because chances are you've never eaten at a pl...

LIKE THE TITLE SAYS: a new boulangerie opened yesterday in Manoa Marketplace. I won't go into great detail about it right now, because I'll do that in a future issue of TGIF, but here's the quick and dirty of the place for the sake of info dissemination: What's a boulangerie? Sounds stuck up: It just means a "French-style bakery." It sounds...

Scene Update: New club events, old restaurants and concert news

Scene Update: New club events, old restaurants and concert news
LET'S GET UP to speed on a few things, shall we? •The big buzz in restaurants is that the DIY burger joint The Counter opened Monday at Kahala Mall. The place was pretty well packed at lunchtime. The concept is that you build your own burger from a long list of ingredients and toppings. It's like Burgers on the Edge, only better. It's ...
