Hawaii: The Iron Chef

284

omg, i can’t believe it’s march already! i flipped my calendar this morning and it’s filling up. going to be a busy month. so many things going on with so little time. been having to deal with classic “hawaiian time” situations recently. this is the time when i really appreciate everything in japan being exactly on time. perfect service and no mistakes. but what i’ve been going through recently with hawaii businesses gets me frustrated. i could write a book on the good businesses, and the bad businesses. you would freak out on the shitty service i’ve been getting recently at well established businesses here. but the good thing about it is it makes me want to provide a better service with my job. i just learn from everybody else’s mistakes. ganbarimasu!

ok, as you all know, one of my dreams is to become a chef. i sit on sushi counters or any counter around the world and watch the different techniques. i’m eating, i’m drinking, but more so, i’m watching. i learned that you have to have good equipment to make it right. and now, i don’t have just good equipment, i have the best equipment. these custom made japanese knives are the best of the best. if you’re a bad boy, i can cut your finger off without even trying. the next fish i catch, i’m going to cut it up and prepare sashimi just like how i learned by watching the best sushi chefs in the world.
