Big Island Grinds

Wow I don’t think I’ve had a proper pear until now. Seattle’s fruits are awesome!

My wife and I are visiting seattle for the New Years. It’s so beautiful and cold! Our first breakfast here are crumpets and hot groats (whole steelcut oats) at the Crumpet Shop.

So scrumptious and buttery.

Stay warm for us. More blogging soon.. Sorry for being away for so long.

This is an easy one

Yep I just got a new phone! A palm centro on sprint with unlimited data. I’ll see if I can use this for on-the-spot reporting.

Hopefully this image attachment thing will work too.

hrmmm.. will try again later

It wasn’t sleepy Hilo Town this past Saturday.

The rain was on schedule…

Donna’s Smokin BBQ Shack…

Baby Back Ribs, 5-Meat Chili, Mac Salad, Rice ($10)

Juicy juicy, tasty and slightly tangy. Great ribs! Chili was really good too — very thick and hearty with a slight kick. I need to check Donna’s Smokin BBQ Shack later. It is located in the Keaau Village Market.

Kama’aina Backroads is a new show premiering this Saturday at 9pm on OC16 featuring Hawaii from a local perspective. There should be a short segment featuring Big Island Grinds where I check out Itsu’s with the producer of the show. Be sure to check it out… looks like a great show.

I’m really the camera shy type of person, but I couldn’t pass this opportunity up… and had to share with all of you one of my favorite places to grind!

See http://www.kamaainabackroads.com/ for more information about the show.

UPDATE:

Here is the complete show times for this week (there might be more times late at night/early mornings… check schedule listings).

Sunday @ 2:30am
