The folks at MSNBC decided to write an article on some of the eatieries Barack Obama enjoyed while living in Honolulu and still likes to go to as an adult. In fact before he became president, he talked about going to Rainbow Drive-In and Zippy's, which for any local are mandatory stops for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and breakfast, along with something to get after a good day at the beach.
The main article is here, while A Guide To Obama's Favorite Eateries is behind the link. For us transplanted Hawaiians who are homesick not only for the good food, but for the people who like to "talk story" as we eat, these places will be very familiar.
To Mr. Obama: hui, we go eat.
