Since I began writing this col-

umn five months ago, I’ve

been asked questions that

fall at both ends of the spectrum,

with most inquiries ranging from

food recommendations to

whether this job comes with a

gym membership.

As I’ve previously told inquir-

ing minds, this assignment,

unfortunately, does not come

with a gym pass. So, the question

then becomes, “Well, how do you

stay so slim?”

Some of you may know that I

was into working out in the past,

but I’ve since admittedly fell off

that bandwagon months ago. So

now when people ask me how I

stay in shape, my simple

response is, “I eat ... and I eat

lots!”

Sound crazy? Sure, but let me

explain how eating has led, in my

case, to a slender look.

First off, food makes me happy,

and being happy gives me loads

of energy. So even though the

workouts are almost nonexistant

these days, I believe that I still

live an active, energetic, care-

free life. (OK, maybe genetics

has something to do with my

figure, too.)

But what’s not care-free, how-

ever, are my cravings, which

accompanied me this week as I

successfully discovered and

devoured some of the best

“Ono, You Know” burgers this

island has to offer.

Thankfully, those cravings

have since subsided and,

hopefully, they can now be

passed on to you! So enjoy

these burger selections, fel-

low foodies, and remember:

When it comes to cravings, it’s

easiest to just give in!

Don Ho’s Island GrillA replica of the Barefoot Bar

ambiance of old Waikiki, this

“shack by the sea” cannot go

unnoticed. Having opened its

doors in 1999, Don Ho’s Island

Grill brings island flair to an

American classic. The restaurant

offers award-winning island cui-

sine, while paying homage to the

late, legendary performer him-

self.

The Pipikaula Burger ($14) is

the restaurant’s specialty, and I

fell in love with the very first bite.

Manager Bo Perez was kind

enough to even reveal the hidden

secret to this ultimate goodness.

“We use pastrami in the six-

ounce burger and it’s mixed in

with the ground beef,” Perez

explains. “If you wish, it also can

be served with bacon and

cheese.”

To top it all off, I like to add a

substantial amount of Don Ho’s

barbecue sauerkraut and

Cheddar cheese to the mix to

give it that superlative zing.

Besides the onolicious patty and

sauerkraut, the burger is filled

with lettuce, tomato and onion,

and comes with your choice of

seasoned fries or onion rings —

as do all burgers here.

In the mood for a classic? The

Cheeseburger ($11) has your

name written all over it. It’s your

typical old-fashioned cheese-

burger made with a hefty portion

of beef paired with Swiss or

Cheddar cheese. And to call it

“healthy,” it’s also served with

onion, lettuce and tomato. You

know, sometimes you’ve just

gotta trick yourself into thinking

it’s good for you, right?

Healthy food aside, I was all

about transforming my cheese-

burger into a Loco Moco Burger.

For just $2 more, the chef adds

IHOP HawaiiIHOP, or the International House of

Pancakes, may be known for its sinfully

delicious pancakes, but it has so much

more to offer on its new menu.

Now, this probably wouldn’t be the

first place you’d think of when it comes

to all things burgers, but take my word

for it — these burgers are to die for!

Hickory-smoked bacon is blended

right into the USDA ground beef patty,

making it tough competition for all other

burgers out there. All Bacon ‘N Beef burg-

ers are served with your choice of sea-

soned fries, onion rings, fresh fruit, soup

or salad and a dill pickle spear.

There are oodles of Bacon ‘N Beef

Burger options to satisfy your craving.

How about Bacon ‘N

Beef Bacon & Egg

Cheeseburger or the

Bacon ‘N Beef

Cheeseburger? Don’t tell

me not a tad bit of drool

is hitting the page right

now, because I know it

is!

“We’re excited to have

our Bacon & Beef

Burgers on the menu,

because no one else real-

ly has a burger where

the bacon and the beef

are ground up together

in a patty and cooked all

together as one,” says

Justin Mercado, manag-

er of the Windward Mall

location.

Mercado, however,

saved the best and most

favorite of the burgers

for me! I may be petite,

but I can grind like a

monster. That’s why the

Monster Bacon ‘N Beef

Cheeseburger is my

favorite. This ginormous

burger consists of two

thick, juicy burger patties smothered in

American and provolone cheeses on a

Romano-Parmesan bun with lettuce,

tomato and red onion. And if things could-

n’t get better, they did when Mercado pre-

sented me with the Bacon ‘N Beef Mega

Mushroom Burger ($11.99). Also served

on a Romano-Parmesan bun with lettuce,

tomato and red onion, what sets it apart is

the grilled mushrooms with Swiss cheese

atop the already mountainous burger. I

love my grilled mushrooms!

cover story

As soon as Niel Koep touchedground on Maui more than 20years ago, he knew he’d found theplace he was meant to be. “I knowit sounds weird,” says the soft-

spoken chef, “but as soon as the planelanded, I knew this was it.”

He spent more than 18 years on Lanai,opening the Lodge at Koele and thenManele Bay, all the while building astrong pastry, bread and dessert follow-ing. But it was a boyhood dream of own-ing his own place that kept nagging athim to move on.

“When you work in a resort, it’s verycomfortable,” he says. “I got sidetrackedfor a while, but the voice was alwaysthere telling me I had to do it, I had toopen my own bakery.”

He took the plunge 18 months ago andopened Fendu Boulangerie in ManoaMarketplace. Rave reviews quietly fol-lowed, and word started to spread of hisdivine sandwiches, exquisite chocolatecroissants and huge selection of hand-

made breads. Walk into the sunny little boulangerie

today and you can almost smell thelove coming out of the kitchen, as thearoma of yeast, chocolate and freshlybaked pizza give off their heavenlyscent. I’ve always thought there wassomething irresistible about bakingbread, and Koep agrees.

“Bread is something that everyoneunderstands,” says the New Jersey-born baker, with a smile. “You don’tneed formal training in food, you don’thave to be an expert to understand it.Other foods may be complicated orhard to understand, but bread isflour, water yeast andsalt. It’s a simplething, and if it’smade right, it cantouch the heart.”

Koep’s breadreally is just flour,water, yeastand salt,

unlike the chemically enhanced, preservative-filledsupermarket version you may have just had forbreakfast.

“There are no additives or chemicals in ourbreads,” says Koep, “and there’s no hydrogenatedshortening either. We just use olive oil, vegetableoil or butter, along with flour and salt. A lot of cus-tomers looking for natural foods, better ingredi-ents, are happy when they find that our food isbaked fresh every day and in a natural way.” Andat Fendu (the name comes from a traditional, halfmoon-shaped French loaf), fresh really meansfresh. Anything left over on the shelves at day’send is never resold. Koep and his small team begina new batch of breads, pastries, desserts and heav-enly cookies every day. The Manoa bakery is filledwith baskets of bread and two glass cabinets thathouse a gorgeous selection of pastries anddesserts. Koep knows almost all his customers byname, and as the doors open and close continu-ously throughout the day, there’s evidence of com-munity spirit in small, everyday exchanges.

“We do know many of our customers,” Koepsays. “We see lots of them every day. And we’regrateful to the community in Manoa for supportingus during this first year or so.”

Manoa residents are surely spoiled for choice asthey peruse the menu of daily bread that includesHearth Baked Whole Wheat Bread ($4.50), FrenchSourdough ($5), Multigrain with Flax Seed ($4.50),American Harvest ($5.50), Sweet Onion Naan ($5),a selection of baguettes and the popular fendu loaf.In addition, there are daily specials that include

offerings of Calamata Olive Bread, Walnut RaisinCheese Bread or one made with Hamakua Farm’smushrooms, in which rustic, crunchy crusts giveway to light, airy, pillowy interiors. Each one ofKoep’s breads is a testament to perfection.

As the holidays appear, expect to see fresh, fruit-filled traditional breads and pastries appear on theshelves, like Christmas stolen — and expect themto disappear just as quickly.

“Last year we sold everything we made,” saysKoep, “so this year we’re starting early.”

I’d call and order ahead if I were you. There’s nodoubt that Koep will make a stolen that’s as goodas any you’ve tasted.

If he does run out, take comfort in a miniaturecheesecake, chocolate cake or flaky, buttery crois-sants that are heavenly when dipped in fresh, hotcoffee. Or make the trip to Manoa to try the pearmascarpone Danish or a chocolate mousse cupmade with Valhrona chocolate and topped with apassion fruit sauce.

And you can trust this talented baker to makeone of the crispest, freshest pizza bases in town. Inone corner of the bakery, a pizza oven, importedand rebuilt in Manoa, ensures a perfect crust.

For anyone who seeks Parisian perfection whenit comes to dough, then a pilgrimage to this trulydelightful bakery is a must.

“Bread and pizza go hand in hand,” says Koep.“We want people to be able to enjoy breakfast pas-tries, sandwiches for lunch and pizza for dinner, ifthey like. There’s a lot more to us than just a bak-ery.”

ong estab-lished asone of thepicture-per-fect sunsetdining spots

on Oahu, Ocean House has a newchef and a host of new dinnermenu items.

Still a place to enjoy cocktails atsunset and fish fresh from Hawaiiwaters, the restaurant at the Out-rigger Reef on The Beach nowboasts lamb, more steaks,chicken and chops. And there’s anew Grilled Double Cut Pork Chopthat’s proving to be one of themost popular new entrees.

We caught up with David Na-gaishi, the restaurant’s generalmanager, recently to find outwhat’s new for dinner at the popu-lar dining destination.

JM: I’m guessing you haven’tremoved the prime rib from themenu to make way for new

dishes, right?

DN: (Laughs) No, never. It’s al-ways safe here. Our slow-roastedprime rib is cooked for 10 to 12hours; that’s what makes it sogood. We have a number of differ-ent preparations at dinner, includ-ing the Ocean House Cut ($28.50),and the Alii Cut ($34.50) for thosewith heavier appetites. A newpreparation of the prime rib is ourBlackened Prime Rib. We servethe slow-roasted rib meatwrapped in Cajun spices, sautéedin an iron skillet to seal in the fla-vor and then finished with asweet Creole sauce. It’s proving tobe a big hit with customers.

JM: Obviously when peoplecome to a restaurant like OceanHouse, they’re expecting to findfish on the menu. Have youchanged any of the fish dishes?

DN: A lot of our fish selections

have stayed the same, but wehave added a Lilikoi Misoyaki But-terfish that is beautifully tenderand melts in the mouth. ChefCraig Yasaka does a great job andhis dishes are really getting a lotof great comments. We also havea new Fire Roasted Monchong,which is the Hawaiian pomfret,served with yuzu and an oystercream sauce with ginger, cilantroand jasmine rice.

One of our other new and verypopular dishes is the MacadamiaNut Crusted Mahimahi, which isserved with a coconut gingercream sauce and drizzled withsweet chili.

Our fish is always going to bepopular — but we’re very proudof the new meat entrees, too.

JM: Am I seeing lamb on themenu, and double-cut pork chopsas well?

DN: Yes, we’re serving Aus-

tralian Lamb Chops that arehoney infused then grilled andserved with a mint cherry sauceand Maui onion mashed pota-toes. Another new and populardish is proving to be the GrilledDouble Cut Pork Chop, which istopped with a pineapple applechutney and served with Mauionion mashed potatoes.

JM: Why the change, when

themenuwas

obviously very strong already?

DN: Well, all these years wehave been seafood strong, andwe wanted to round off themenu a little. By adding moresteaks, lamb, pork chops, we’vebeen able to add a more com-plete menu and still keep ourprices very reasonable.

JM: In Waikiki terms, you are

one of the most reasonablypriced restaurants of all.

DN: Yes, we always keep inmind that a lot of local peopleenjoy coming to Ocean House.It’s important to us to keep theprices affordable. With our viewand our menu, we’re really un-beatable.

JM: I know you get a stronglocal turnout on weekends. Howare weeknights? A good time tocome for a quieter sunset din-ner?

DN: We are very busy Fridaythrough Sunday night, and forsome reason on Wednesdays alot of locals come out for dinner.We’d love to see more local peo-ple come during the early week-nights. People are always sopleasantly surprised when theyfinally come for dinner. Andwhen they see the view …

JM: Do you ever get used toit?

DN: Never. It’s a different newmovie every day.

JM: You have some tastynew pupu items on the menu,too, I noticed. Perfect if peo-ple want to come have a glassof wine, take in the ocean, en-

joy a pupu or two.

DN: Oh, our Island-StyleSashimi ($13.50) is wonderful,and our new Sizzling AhiCarpaccio ($14.50) comestopped with Hawaiian salt, toga-rashi, Maui onions, radishsprouts and topped with siz-zling sesame and peanut oil. It’sso good.

JM: All good reasons to comeand try Ocean House if youhaven’t been in a while, right?

DN: Yes, and then there’s ourservice. The aloha spirit lives onvery strong in the Ocean House!As long as people come andhave a good time, that’s whatwe want.

When Billy Rattanasamayopened a central Oahu ver-sion of Paesano RistoranteItaliano two years ago, every-one was surprised — and

perhaps no one more so thanRattanasamay himself.

Retail pioneer Glenn Kaya, the ownerof Waimalu Plaza Shopping Center, hadbeen a regular customer at Paesano’spopular Manoa location for some time.One day, recalls Rattanasamay, Kaya toldhim about a vacancy at the shoppingcenter, urging him to open a new locationthere. “I said, ‘I’m tired! All these years, Inever have a day off on the holidays,’”Rattanasamay says.

But Kaya persuaded him that a secondPaesano location was a good idea, and

now Rattanasamay spends much of histime there, enjoying a much shorter com-mute from his Waikele home.Rattanasamay’s wife, Nila, helps runs theshow in Manoa with their partner andlongtime friend and chef Gerry Quach.

As many of his regulars might attest,Rattanasamay has earned a break. Bornin Laos, he came to Hawaii with his fami-ly in 1973 and began working even before

he graduated from McKinley HighSchool. “My first real job, I worked as adishwasher at Bobby McGee’sConglomeration,” he says. “Then I hadthe chance to work at Michel’s at theColony Surf Hotel. I was there for 15years as a busboy and waiter.”

The experience would help shapeRattanasamay’s career. At Michel’s, hegot to know George “Cass” Castagnola,

an Italian restaurateur from New Jerseywho had decided to expand to Hawaii;Rattanasamay helped the man launch hisManoa restaurant. By 1991, Castagnolahad moved on. With wife Nila and oldfriend Quach, Rattanasamay took overwith a new name: Paesano RistoranteItaliano.

But he never forgot Castagnola’s les-sons. “He was a master of cooking, but healso knew to use good ingredients,” saysRattanasamay. “He would choose thebest-quality tomato sauce, pasta, ham …

Thanks to owner Billy Rattanasamay, Paesano Ristorante is a reminder to customers

of all that is great about Italian cuisine

Above: Server Ka Ming Lam shows off two ofPaesano Ristorante’s most requested dishes:the Salmon Gardiano ($25.90) and the NewYork Steak ($20.90, small portion; $26.90, largeportion).

Story by Caroline WrightPhotos by Leah Friel

When we took over the restaurant, I said,‘We have to follow in his footsteps. We can’tcut corners. People notice right away.’”

Gradually, Paesano became one ofManoa’s best-kept little secrets. Regularsnow include Gov. Neil Abercrombie andHonolulu Star-Advertiser president and pub-lisher Dennis Francis, Rattanasamay saysproudly. For almost 20 years, neighborhoodfoodies have returned for delectably pre-pared dishes like Osso Bucco Alla Romana(small portion, $20.90; large portion,$26.90), the veal shank authentically servedwith a marrow fork; the Shrimp Scampi(small portion, $19.90; large portion,$24.90); Chicken Alla Sorrentino, with egg-plant, cheese and mushrooms (small por-tion, $18.90; large, $21.90); andRattanasamay’s own favorite: SalmonGardiano ($25.90), pan-grilled Atlanticsalmon with garlic, capers, baby Romatomatoes and ginger in a balsamic reduc-tion.

The New York Steak (smaller portion,$20.90; larger portion; $26.90) is a specialty

at Paesano, and one of its bestsellers. “A lotof people don’t know that we don’t cooksteak on the grill the way Americans do; wesauté it in a red wine sauce,” Rattanasamayexplains. “It’s fry-pan steak, so everythingis cooked fresh, including the sauce.”

The Waimalu location’s menu is identicalto that of its sister restaurant, and evenincludes the same deli selections — meat-balls, sausage and three different pastas bythe pound, red sauce by the quart — thatenable diners to enjoy a fresh Italian feastin their own homes. Fresh bread is bakedevery morning, just as at the Manoa site.The larger Waimalu even has rooms for pri-vate parties, but still feels intimate andwarm.

For lunch at both locations, portions arescaled down and priced accordingly.Sandwiches such as Chicken Parmgiana($11.90), Sausage & Pepper ($8.90), andFish ($12.90) are popular in Manoa with theuniversity lunchtime crowd, and are catch-ing on at the Aiea restaurant.

Tantalizing dessert offerings include two

kinds of Tiramisu (classic and green tea),Cannoli Alla Siciliana, and Zabaglione withImported Marsala (all $6).

As word gets out in and around Waimaluabout the fantastic “new” Italian placeacross from Safeway, Rattanasamay isvocal with his gratitude. “I owe my busi-ness to Michel’s; I learned so much frommy boss (maître d’ Bob Clark, now retired)— not only about restaurants, but aboutlife. And I have good employees. Withoutthem, I would never have come this far.Many have worked for me for so long.”

When he opened the Waimalu location,Rattanasamay gave shares in the restaurantto a small group of longtime employees.“It’s made my company stronger becauseeverybody contributes hard work,” he says.“And now they’re so happy.” Though hischildren are at college now and his com-mute is shorter, Rattanasamay hasn’tslowed down much. “I don’t have time forgolfing! We are a small restaurant and wespend almost all day long there, and that’swhat makes it good.”

At Ton Ton Ramen, most people go

for the Soft Rib Ramen ($8) and

many of them drive across the

island to this humble noodle spot in

Waipahu for a taste of the specialty

broth and tender meat.

“We’re always answering the phone

and giving people directions,” says Ton

Ton’s Heather Galbreath. “This morning,

for example, people are driving from

Kaneohe just to try the ramen.”

But sample the more intriguing look-

ing Black Sesame Tantan Ramen ($8.50)

if you want a taste of multi-layered

broths and complex flavors. Or, try the

newest addition to the menu — Ippin

Ramen ($8) in its rich, soupy base.

The Seafood Ramen offers great value

at just $8.95 for a bowl that comes to the

table piping hot and is filled with

seafood. Go with a huge appetite, or opt

for one of the (mercifully) mini portions

of Shoyu Ramen or Curry Ramen at just

$5.25.

Catering platters for the holidays are

now available and include Seafood Fried

Noodle ($26.95, small) and Char Siu

Fried Rice ($19.95, small).

?Jo, We would like to suggest that when

you review restaurants in Dining Out,you include those that offer special din-ing coupons or offers to seniors.

We enjoy eating out and are preparedto try new restaurants that offer this serv-ice .

Sincerely, A.R.

Hi A.R.,

Thanks for the suggestion! We’re get-

ting an extraordinary number of re-

quests for restaurant information, and

we certainly want to try and fit all of

them in, so do keep sending your

thoughts and comments.

There are so many good value offers

at restaurants that it’s always hard to

pick out just a few — and many of the

sunset or early bird specials are ab-

solutely perfect, I think, for seniors.

Restaurants such as Sarento’s, for ex-

ample, offer a tremendously good value

three-course meal if you order during

their sunset hour, and many restau-

rants, especially those in Waikiki, offer

unbeatable happy hour pricing — some

of it lasting all night.

We hope Dining Out continues to be a

great resource for you as you look for

good restaurant deals.

Happy Eating!

This time of year signals a little more than just the

start of the holiday season. At exactly 5 a.m. next

Sunday, the gun goes off for the 2010 Honolulu

Marathon, filling the streets of downtown Honolulu and

Waikiki with thousands of runners, walkers and their

supporters.

In support of those brave enough to tackle the 26.2-

mile course, Wailana Coffee House has a three-day all-

you-can-eat pasta menu Dec. 9-11.

Owner Joanna Leong says she and brother Kenton

began offering this special about 10 years ago so partic-

ipants could enjoy a reasonably priced carbo-loaded

meal during those crucial days leading up to the

marathon.

“I am not a runner, but years ago I did race walking

and participated in many races or helped at various

events,” says Leong, adding that although she has not

attempted the Honolulu Marathon, she has been at

the finish line to greet friends and family, including

her son, John, and his wife, Julianna.

“The event itself brings in many visitors to our

state, especially participants from Japan, and the run-

ning path goes by our restaurant,” she adds. “This

menu is for marathon participants as well as for

everyone else who wants to carbo-load or just loves

pasta to the max!”

On the menu Thursday night is all-you-can-eat

Gearing up for theHonolulu Marathonon Wailana’s menu

N othing’s better than waking up to

presents on Christmas morning,

and boy, does Wailana Coffee

House have a present for you. The restau-

rant will be open Dec. 25, serving all the flavors of the holidays

to every good little boy and girl — and adults too!

The Holiday Breakfast Special ($9.95) is Eggs Benedict

Royal, toasted English muffin halves topped with smoked ham,

turkey breast and poached eggs and smothered with a creamy,

thick hollandaise sauce. The meal is made complete with the

addition of hash browns, glazed peaches and choice of coffee

or tea.

Or choose from three Christmas Dinner Specials, available

from 11 a.m. to midnight. There is a Prime Rib Roast ($16.95),

which is coated with special seasonings before being slowly

roasted to perfection and served with au jus and creamed

horseradish sauce.

Another holiday favorite is the Holiday Turkey with Smoked

Ham ($12.95), served on a bed of macadamia nut stuffing, old-

fashioned giblet gravy and topped with a grilled pineapple ring

filled with cranberry sauce.

Or go the unconventional route and try the Hibachi Chicken and

Shrimp Kabobs ($13.95), a ginger, shoyu and smoked hickory-

infused chicken breast served with shrimp kabobs skewered with

fresh mushrooms, tomatoes,

onions and bell peppers.

All dinners include choice of

baked potato, mashed potato,

french fries or steamed rice; corn

on the cob; Wailana’s popular

salad bar; bread pudding drizzled

with chocolate sauce and topped

with whipped topping; and coffee,

tea or soft drink.

Make it a true celebration with a

bottle of Wailana’s House Wines,

$3.75 a glass or $7 for half carafe.

Wailana’s regular menu also will

be available Christmas day, as well

as its keiki value meal menus

($2.25 for breakfast, $2.50 lunch

and dinner) for children age 9 and

younger.

Reservations are not required

but are highly recommended for

groups of eight or more people.

There’s much on the

menu at Camellia

Buffet to bring regu-

lar customers back week-

ly for lunch and dinner.

Some come for the poke

and the fresh sashimi; oth-

ers for kalbi and spicy

marinated pork. Now, chil-

dren are happy to see

island favorite orange

chicken on the buffet line,

too.

But one of the best

offerings at Camellia

Buffet is certainly their

flap meat. It’s not a well-

known meat, but one

superbly suited to high

heat and quick grilling

nonetheless. Part of the

short loin, this inexpen-

sive cut of beef is ideal for

use in yakiniku-style cook-

ing. Full of marbled fat and

flavor, flap steak is similar

to skirt or hangar steak.

With the high heat from

yakiniku grills, the meat

grills quickly, yet stays

tender. In fact, it’s best

when cooked over high

heat and to a temperature

of no more than medium

rare. Don’t overcook it —

it goes from perfect to

tough in seconds — and

make sure to cut the meat

on the bias once it’s done

in order to best taste the

texture and flavor.

You’ll find flap meat on

the dinner buffet line at

Camellia Buffet. The

restaurant has been serv-

ing meat lovers at lunch

and dinner for more than

25 years at its McCully

Street location.

Go at lunchtime or earli-

er in the evenings on

weeknights, when the

crowds aren’t thronging, if

you’re checking out the

buffet line for the first

time. Other highly recom-

mended items on the

menu include poke, short

ribs and house signature

spicy pork. Vegetable

sides include house red

potatoes marinated in a

shoyu dressing, won bok

kim chee and namul.

on the menu

ing with a variety of

seasoned ground beef on both

nights. A third sauce option on

Friday will be a white cream sauce

Recipe

Sure, there are his famous poke and crab,but what about the burgers?! Well, just likeeverything else, they are utterly fantastic.

“We have a following of hamburgerlovers who love our burgers because notonly is it half a pound, but it’s really juicy,”says dining room manager GordonMedeiros. “We get a lot of praise for ourburgers.”

And for me, it’s all about the burgers.With a name like Sam’s Favorite Burger($10.95), it’s undoubtedly clear thatyou’re in for a treat. This popular favoriteis a burger full throttle with a half-poundof certified Angus beef complete withSam’s secret sauce. I asked, but the recipewould not be revealed. Oh well. Yet, onething I can tell you is that once you finishoff the burger and the fries, it just may betime for a nap — so count that into yourschedule.

The Teriyaki Burger is another class acthere at Sam Choy’s. This remarkably deli-cious burger, for only $11.95, again fea-tures a half-pound of certified Angus beefwith grilled pineapple, cheese and succu-lent teriyaki sauce. When I’m craving asweeter sensation with a little teriyakitwist, I know that I’ll find it in this burger.So, the next time that burger temptationsneaks up on you, think Sam Choy’sBreakfast, Lunch & Crab.

Zap Cafe & LoungeZap Cafe & Lounge opened its doors

this past July and offers a relaxing andcasual dining experience to all its cus-tomers. Owners Chad Garcia and SandeeAshby say their main goal is to make any-one and everyone feel right at home here.

“We provide a cafe within a loungehere,” explains Ashby, adding, “The youngand young at heart really enjoy them-selves — the music is always on, sports,news or the Food Network is always onthe TV, and we are wireless with fastInternet connection.”

With breakfast served anytime of dayand a diversity of items on the menu,including sandwiches, pastas, entree sal-ads, pupus, ice cream pies, drinks andmore, you’ll want to “zap” yourself here ina blink of an eye. I sure did.

But, as you know, when a craving hits, ithits hard — so even with so much tochoose from, the burgers won yet again.But really, with names like the Local BoyBurger, Big Braddah Burger, King StreetChili-Cheese Burger and Cocka-DoodleMoo Burger, how could they not?

“We do several burgers, the most popu-lar being the Local Boy Burger, the BlueCheese and Bacon and the Patty Melt,”

Ashby states.“The Cocka-

Doodle Moo is a realnovelty. It is a poundof meat, but nearlyeveryone finishes it— while their friendsphotograph themeating!”

This burger is likeno other. Accordingto Ashby, someonecame into the cafeand ordered a dou-ble cheeseburgerand a chicken pitawrap. Well, longstory short, thechicken ended upsandwiched between the burgers and theCocka-Doodle Moo was born. At $14.95,this is one you’re going to have to try foryourself!

OK, now it’s time to get healthy! Withthe Garden Burger ($9.95) there’s noneed to count calories, as this could pos-sibly be a vegetarian’s favorite burger ona whole wheat bun. It contains low-fatmozzarella cheese, lettuce, tomato,onion and pickle. Whew, now after all thisartery-clogging goodness that I’ve beenraving about, doesn’t this make you feelhealthier?

All burgers — and hand foods, for thatmatter — come with Zap’s seasoned fries

or fresh spring greens with house bal-samic vinaigrette or a homemade ranchdressing. You can substitute garlic friesor sweet potato fries for an additionalcost.

Also take note: Homemade sauces andsalad dressings are specialties. And asAshby promises, “We will Zap you a greattime!”

At Z Pizza, the storeis earning ravereviews not just

because it’s gluten-free,but because it has incred-ibly good pizza. With alively atmosphere, fresh,natural ingredients andfriendly staffers, the WardCenter pizzeria is wellworth a stop.

We asked customersMeredith Hinz andAndrea Kellog whatthey’d recommend fromthe menu:

Meredith:: “We come when we can.

We live in Kailua, but wemake a special trip herefor the pizza. It’s delicious— and freshly made. My

friend eats a gluten-freediet and we make a day ofit, so it’s perfect for herand we both enjoy thefood.

“I’m having the two-slicespecial today, which is aslice of tomato basil and aslice of pepperoni. I usual-ly just have the pepperoni.They’re both very good.

“I’d definitely recom-mend it. There are freshingredients, everybody isalways really nice whenyou come in here, it’sbright and friendly, and Ienjoy the staff.”

Andreaa Kellogg:“I make my own pizza,

but I’ve never been able toeat it out or order it in a

restaurant before, so thisis wonderful. I usually justhave the pepperoni, too,but today I’m trying some-thing new — the Santa Fe.Obviously, I like therestaurant because it’sgluten-free!”
