A couple weeks ago we had the chance to check out the brand new eatery, Meatball. Meatball is Robert McGee’s (formerly of the now-closed Whole Ox Deli) new spot over on Kapahulu. They serve—what else?!—meatballs with your choice of sauce and, if you like, a starch. There are many, many,... Read More

We were invited to attend an absolutely, insanely incredible dinner held by Patek Philippe (the watch makers) and Ben Bridge Jewelers.

I haven’t done a “We Ate It” Round-Up in a while (since March!!) because apparently, I have been eating nothing but cookies. OK, that’s not really true (it’s really because we’ve been traveling and going to so many events). But seriously, when I called up all the photos taken in... Read More

I’m having brunch with my gals tomorrow, so seems like it’s an appropriate time to share this dessert-for-breakfast crepe I had the last time I brunched with them: We tried out the Cream Pot Cafe at the Hawaiian Monarch hotel in Waikiki. Everyone else was much more sensible and had... Read More
