I’m Famous – and on Metromix Honolulu

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be featured on Metromix?

If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a splashy, one-stop local entertainment guide on where to go and what to do, from the hottest restaurants and bars, to the latest in music, movies, and entertainment. And Honolulu is one of the cities fortunate to have a Metromix dedicated to our urban happenings (http://honolulu.metromix.com).

So normally, you find out about hip happenings, see models in model-like poses, fashionistas in the latest fashions, or even artists displaying their latest creations. And talk about attractive and hip people – or at least those confident enough to claim they are.

Except for Tuesday. For some reason there was a photo of yours truly, the same one you see above. Yes, the irony of a boring straight-arrow like me appearing on the trendy Metromix is not lost on me or anyone in my family. But as long-time friends and new friends alike can attest, when it comes to food, that’s something I can get excited about. And hopefully get others excited about. On a few occasions, I’ve even called myself a “foodie” – although I think “eater” could just as easily describe me. Especially when it’s about my *favorite* food in the world – fried chicken.

If you haven’t, you should read the article, about the Best Fried Chicken on Oahu. It is a well-written piece by my friend Melissa Chang (@Melissa808). By the way Melissa, thanks for making me a celebrity at my office. I had four coworkers come ask me about the article. It really is nice to brag to them that I have connections. Especially when those connections let you partake in the food sampling.

Hey, maybe a new career is on the horizon. The only question is, “Do I charge for my services, or just take the free food?”

Mahalo!
