Eh Brah! You call THAT chicken?!
Eh new food truck! Learn how to make a chicken sandwich! I went to your truck and ordered one of your $10 sandwiches and you looked at your partner to check if there was any chicken left. You should have just said no! Instead you gave me the saddest chicken breast I’ve ever seen. No […]

Eh Brah: Food trucks shouldn’t dump cooking oil like that!
Eh food truck: I saw your employee pour a lot of something that was clearly not water from the side of your truck. There was a visible spill or pour down over the ground and into the trees. I asked a lot of people if they thought this spill was water. It looked like cooking oil. I […]

Tony Matsuda and Ku`ulei Hanohano make some of the best acai bowls I’ve ever put in my belly.

Playmakers Sports Bar and Wayne’s Sushi Fresh Off the Boat Team Up
I love it when two great things get together. So when I saw that Wayne’s Sushi Fresh Off the Boat teamed up with Playmaker’s Sports Bar, I knew I’d found a heavenly match. Playmaker’s Sports Bar is something like a child of the old Sports Page in Kihei. Owner Misha Vosburg was part of the crew that owned […]
Teddy’s Bigger Burgers Food Truck
If you doubt that a food truck could be as good as its brick and mortar location, I’m with you. So recently, after seeing the Teddy’s Bigger Burgers Food Truck parked off of Kahului Beach road, I decided to put them to the test. The Lahaina Teddy’s Bigger Burgers is one of the best burger […]
Shark Bite Cafe’s New Wailuku Food Truck on Mill Street
Driving up at the top of Mill Street in Wailuku, I came across a new food truck called Shark Bite Cafe. It was located in a parking lot next to a two-story commercial building.

Wayne’s Sushi Bar, formerly of Haiku, has a new food truck Fresh Off the Boat in Kahului Maui
You may have spotted Wayne’s Sushi Food Truck Boat at the food truck court across from the Costco gas station. Wayne’s Sushi Bar used to be in Haiku, but closed a few years back. It’s one of the best uses of a boat that will no longer float that I’ve seen yet. It’s a real boat–named Fresh […]
Kihei’s Signature Coconut Shrimp truck – Kinaole Grill
The Kinaole Food Truck has a nice, feel-good story.
