Aloha Misty: Your smoked meat looked awesome - must have been really yummy after being in the smoker for six hours; great job. The food from K & K Kitchen looked awesome. I need to get to my old neighborhood when I get home again. The prices you paid was amazing for the amount of food - one serving would last the whole day (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Looking forward to your next vlog. Best wishes to you, and Aiden! Much 🧧, my fellow alumnus! 🤙

Maybe you should take up one of them company offers just to see what you get ! You come across as a very proud woman, happy to pay your way and love supporting local foodie shops. You show locals and tourist watching this where to find these interesting foodie places. You do find some bargain places to have a plate lunch at 😋 I have seen some KZfaqrs promote a company while doing their thing, some are weird because the company they promote usually have nothing to do with food. So obviously there is some sort of payment to the KZfaqr for doing that. In saying that you deserve a pat on the back because companies have recognised your work on KZfaq 🎩 hats off to you 🤙

They do state in the email you get the product for free and a commission based on how many people buy the product off your video. No thanks. A turn off. I can see if YT is your only job and you're desperate for money but when I watch big time YT channels I honestly skip their promotion blurb. Most of it is cheap items no one wants...wallets, earphones, etc. I'm too metal for that. 🤣

Another great video! (on a sidenote, I saw your video on making Hawaiian smoke meat ... not that I have the skills, equipment, or energy to even attempt this. BUT .. are you considering selling the meat for the holidays? If not, are there places on Oahu that you could recommend for smoke meat?) Mahalo plenty!

@FoodFiend Жыл бұрын

I don't intend on selling any meat during the holidays. Sorry just so busy. I used to sell and got lazy. There are many people on FB Marketplace selling smoked meat. Not sure if it's good but I do believe each seller has a rating system so if they have plenty stars must be ono!
