Always on the lookout for something different in Hawaii I stopped by the Triple J Dang Dawgz table at Eat the Street - Waipio. Here is a combination lumpia-style rangoons plate. The classic Rangoon Dawn (homemade crab mixture with a kick), Rib-eye Dawg (tender rib-eye rolled in spinach, mozzarella, provolone and garlic and topped with parmesan) and the Dank Buffalo (spicy breaded and fried all beef hot dogs served with homemade bleu cheese dressing).

Only in Hawaii (well and maybe in Japan)… we ran across Gohan (Rice) Man at the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii’s Children’s Festival. Gohan was conceived in the hills of Kaimuki look over Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach and is mission is to help the less fortunate. His motto is “Have a Rice Day, Feed the Hungry” and was created as a mascot for some Hawaii Food Bank functions. Gohan is Japanese for rice with is a staple there as well as in Hawaii.
