| Bistro chef grilling the Ono Ribs! Does life get any better than this? Grilled St. Louis ribs, slow cooked, smothered with a secret recipe of pineapple BBQ sauce? |
The Bistro restaurant in Kilauea had the best ribs on the planet,slow cooked, grilled St. Louis ribs smothered with a secret recipe of pineapple BBQ sauce.
The Fairmont Kea Lani in Maui had the longest lines for their outrageously delicious Ebi Tempura Musubi.

| The Ebi Tempurura musubi was one of the most delicious entrees! |
My other favorite on this hot Sunday was a simple shaved ice with natural organic toppings topped with vanilla on a super fine crushed ice. This shave ice was like no other shaved ice on the planet, not the normal sugar syrup shave ice, but a fresh healthy treat made by Hee Fat of Kapaa.

If you are a food connoisseur, this is the one place you should go every year, if nowhere else.
My friends joke, but it's true. I am a hermit besides this one event. I live for this one event. See you all next year, same time same station!

Last year I had a flip cam that I bought on closeout at Costco for only $25.00 and wound up getting it on KHON T.V. with Joe Moore's nightly news out of Honolulu. Check it out. I was amazed what the guys in editing did with my video from a flip cam. Here it is.
