On the heels of Chef Mavro's wildly successful Julia Child- inspired three-course menu that was offered earlier this summer, Chef George Mavrothalassitis and his crew of chefs have once again created a special, limited-time three-course menu, this one to accompany the release of the 2009 Beaujolais Nouveau. The three courses, created by Chef Mav...

Wanted: pizza lovers!

Wanted: pizza lovers!
I'm looking for a few good pizza lovers to join me on a pizza crawl in an effort to find this city's best pizza. Here are the requirements, the guidelines and the low down on the Honolulu Advertiser's pizza crawl: • You must LOVE pizza — all kinds of pizza.

It's true what the critics say: No Doubt is back, and better than ever. By now it's no secret: No Doubt killed it last night in their first of two Honolulu shows. The crowd was way into it, and Gwen and gang performed the pants off of the place. Tonight's show isn't sold out yet, and general admission tickets are selling for $20! Twenty! If I ...

The tweet life

Or you would have come along last night to the MGMT concert and we would have formed an impenetrable wall of human support that would have st...
