Papa was a Rollin’ Stone
In the last 3 weeks, another new truck has hit the street in Honolulu, and today we caught up with The Rollin' Stone. You can find them Mon/Wed/Fri between Mililani St and Punchbowl (depending on where parking is available) While it looks like your pretty standard lunchwagon, but there are a couple of interesting differences. The menu consists of a few of the lunchwagon classics. Hamburger Steak, Pork Adobo and Pork Cutlet. However, ...
Crave Okoy
We went down to one of our favorite food truck spots on the island. The parking lot across from the Blaisdell Center affectionately known as "Food Truck Alley". 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 ...
Da Puerto Rican Food Truck (Maui)
Another installment from our recent trip to Maui. This time taking us Upcountry to meet up with one of the trucks i was most looking forward to catching up with. Growing up on Puerto Rican and Mexican food, I was so happy to see that Maui had their own rolling Puerto Rican cuisine. Not something i was expecting when researching Maui Food Trucks, but it was a pleasant surprise. After a nice afternoon drive to Longs Upcountry, it was ...
Welcome to My Office. Have a Seat.
Flying in to Maui early in the morning is usually met with an immediate trip to Krispy Kreme by the airport. However, this trip was a bit different. About halfway from the airport to my hotel in Kihei, sits an interesting food truck. My Office. Unlike most Food Trucks, My Office operates first thing in the morning. This bistro on wheels, opens up shop at 7:30 am with breakfast items galore. First things first. ANY truck selling ...
Kahuna Dogs
Another beautiful weekend in Hawaii, calls for another road trip. This time, we head back out to the west side of the island, in search of some gindz. Just past Ko'olina at Kahe Point Beach Park (aka Electric Beach), we ran into Kahuna Dogs. The iconic hot dog shaped cart is easy to spot, even from the other side of the highway. And topped with the hawaiian style umbrella, and bright colored paint, youre sure to find it just as easy as we ...
Rockett’s Philly Cheesesteaks
Its been a busy week for the food truck industry here in Hawaii. This is the third new truck ive gone to visit in a pretty short time. Can't wait to see what lays further down the road. I mean, who doesnt love a new food vendor. The latest entry to the HIfoodtruck scene comes to us from the West Side. Rockett's Philly Cheesesteaks After retiring from the military, owner Mark Rockett decided to venture into the food truck business, offering ...
The Girls Who Bake Nextdoor
Got a sweet tooth? Well there's a new fix right next door. The Girls Who Bake Next Door that is. We caught up with honolulu's newest confectionary coach right in the heart of downtown. Parked on Bishop St outside of Alexander & Baldwin, The Girls Who Bake Next Door already had a bit of a line shortly after parking. Probably partially due to their adorable flyer boy on the street handing out menus. Cupcakes, Cookies, Brownies and ...
The Blue Truck
If you frequent the UH Manoa area, youre likely to recognize this next truck. The Blue Truck Teppanyaki Just off of campus grounds, outside yogurtland on university ave, he has been at this location for over 3 years now, serving UH students and the fine folks of manoa. Always on time or early for his 5-8 shift, he has been consistent and reliable for years. I walked up to the truck to check out the little dry erase menu, to ...
