Went to a Mexican-style seafood feast restaurant with some spicy lobster and other great seafood items. For dessert, we went to an iconic ice cream parlor & candy counter in a cozy space and afterward checked out the European-inspired indoor food market.

This one definitely felt like one of his older episodes where he was trying all sorts of stuff you can't just pick up at your local fast food or steakhouse.

@@MaskedRiderChris since you’re staying in town, you should try Sweet E’s Cafe or Cafe Kaila for breakfast/brunch. If you want some seafood I would recommend Ono Seafood or fresh catch. Definitely go to zippys. If you’re going to the beach & want some snacks, stop by 7Eleven and Don’t go to any ABC store to buy anything, they’re expensive asf. A very popular bakery spot for locals and tourists is Leonard’s Bakery for some malasadas (if you haven’t tried them, YOU NEED TO!!!). If you want good affordable sushi, go to Genki Sushi. Overall, I would say just try to venture away from the Waikiki area if you want real authentic local food. You could also ask the locals around for any other food recommendations near by that are good and affordable.
