    G&D Burgers – Good Food and Good People

    October 2, 2022 /

    Although I know it will never happen, I am on the hunt for a place that will hit the spot like Colima Burgers did. No burger joint will ever be able to take the place of Colima Burgers in my heart, nor will another place ever feel like home the way Colima Burgers did. That place held too much nostalgia for me, too much of my childhood, and really too much of my life to ever be replaced, but I am hoping (despite what my waistline might want) that I will be able to find a place with burgers and chili cheese fries that are at least nearly comparable.

    Many of us have places that we grew up in, places that feel like home outside of our home. Places that hold a special place in our hearts, that are filled with special memories. Places that feel safe even if it doesn't make sense to anyone else.

    Colima Burgers

    And then there is Colima Burgers. And as cheesy and dramatic as it sounds, I mean this will all sincerity, since coming back to California, walking into Colima Burgers has felt like coming home each and every time. Colima Burgers is a family run greasy spoon that I have gone to all my life.

    Zippy’s – The Restaurant I Resisted

    July 30, 2018 /

    Established in 1966 by brothers Francis and Charles Higa, the first Zippy’s Restaurant opened in McCully, Oahu. Since then Zippy’s has grown to over 20 locations on Oahu, as well as a location on Maui and the big island of Hawaii. Over twenty locations on Oahu alone, that means that they are practically everywhere! When I first moved here it felt like I saw a Zippy’s on every street and it felt like everyone was talking about this place. As I made friends I was constantly told how amazing Zippy’s was. Some people I know would rave about their fried chicken, others around me were obsessed with their rice. Several…

The way the water is flowing right now I have a fe The way the water is flowing right now I have a feeling I'm going to be saying this a lot, but Millard Canyon Falls is probably one of the prettiest overall hikes in the area. Not only are the falls gorgeous but the entire hike up was too. Totally worth wading through knee deep water a dozen times.

I used to do "dumb" things like this all the time I used to do "dumb" things like this all the time in Hawaii. Hiking in the rain, crossing deep, rough water. But for some reason when there's a chill in the air and the water is a bit icy, it's a bit more intimidating. No less fun, but more intimidating for sure!
