#VoteHawaii
For the second year in a row, we are in the running for Mobile Cuisine's, "Food Truck Blog of the Year". The contest is decided by state votes, which leaves Hawaii with a distinct disadvantage based on the numbers. But what they don't factor in is our Aloha Spirit! Texas may have 25million more people than we do in Hawaii, but as we say, ‘A‘ole pilikia. No problem. We Have something they don't. We have Aloha, and the extended family ...
Go Big or Go Home!
I'm sure you're familiar with the old saying "Go Big or Go Home". Well, Street Grindz and One Hundred Thirty are doing just that at our next Eat The Street event.

Decades of food truck history in Hawaii
Hawaii has had a rich history of meals on wheels dating back to the 70's with the introduction of the "Manapua Man" You remember the Manapua Man, right? Well... maybe not. These days the once unavoidable Manapua Man is only in small scattered neighborhoods, but although the numbers have dwindled, its business as usual for this microcosm of food and wares. Much like with the "Ice Cream Man", they roam from neighborhood to neighborhood ...

We got there about an hour after opening, and as usual, people were already lined up for their favorite food trucks. This particular one, is brightly colored and easy to see from the street. Plus the streetside parking on Kapiolani Blvd makes it really easy to find, even if you ...

All Kine Grindz
Today for lunch we took a little stroll down to the confusingly named Mililani St, which of course is in downtown honolulu, not in Mililani like you might think. Confusing name aside, this location is a lunchtime haven for food trucks and street vendors. On any given day you can find between 1 and 3 different food trucks, along side the local hot dog cart, and of course our good friend Aloha Pops just steps away in front of the statue. Today ...
Eat The Street returns to Mililani
It's that time of the year again. Where we make our biannual trip to Mililanis Rec7 for Eat The Street: Mililani. The first time we brought Honolulus food truck rally to Mililani, it was a hit. So much so that the rec center parking lot proved too small for the response. And the second time, the weather just wouldn't work with us. Since then, we have been given the parking lot across the street at Mililani Ike Elementary, and permission ...
