Thanks for the suggestion. That is pretty much how I am going to do it. Same pattern for Las Vegas--off the strip--where the locals eat--with one exception--have to go back to Gordon Ramsays Steak for the Beef Wellington and Guy Fieris burger joint for that $29 fishbowl cocktail.

There is a funny story to go with the cocktail. Brother & Spouse were along last trip. He is a non-drinker and not afraid to mention that. I asked him if it would be all right if I had just one cocktail with my meal. He of course said yes. When they brought that one to the table, the look on his face was absolutely priceless. Even I did not finish it, with a designated "pusher" for my wheelchair at the time. :yes:

A "Fishbowl Cocktail"?
There's got to be a story behind that! :thumbup:

:shocked: But I hesitate to trust anyone who's not willing to get drunk with me...

And that Fishbowl Cocktail was one of the biggest I have ever seen or drank. Linda did help me a bit though. It is a signature item at Guy's. They have the "tropical" version and a "bloody mary" version. I did the tropical. :thumbup:

How's this?

Fresh from his website. And they were generous with the booze infuse. :bowdown::clap:

If we go back to Hawaii, we are going to do food a bit differently. My other three trips, we covered all the "fine" dining places, but tried to stay away from "chain" restaurants. The four star hotels liked me a lot as well as a few other establishments.

I am a big fan of watching triple D. (Diners, Drive In's, and Dives). Guy does find the interesting places where the "locals" congregate. Have driven by many but only stopped at a few. Was never disappointed when we did though. We had some great wood fired pizza, great BBQ (Hawaiian style), and Loco Moco (with a burger on it--sorry, no spam this time). Cost wise--you can't beat it. Taste wise--does not get much better. Buzz's wharf (one of my favorite places on Maui) closed its doors a couple years back--so that is off the "locals" list now.

Better quit, or I will be on Expedia arranging another trip. :roflblack:

While you were in Maui, did you happen to try 'Mamma's Fish House' on the north shore. Pretty pricey but the food and service were amazing (to us). Others may feel differently. The seafood really is fresh caught every day. I can't remember the names of some of the other places we ate but we were at Mamma's 3 or 4 times.

Yes, we were there. My impressions were the same. We also did Roy's when he was in the shopping strip by Hilo Hatties. Have not been to the new place where he moved to NW Maui.
