Mo' Bettah Steaks

Listen,

This is not a food blog, but it is a Bob blog and food is very important to me; probably more important that it should be.  Well, we decided to go try a new restaurant last night and it has cracked the top 10.  I have been hearing advertisements for a new Hawaiian  place called Mo' Bettah Steaks on sports radio.  I LOVE Hawaiian-style plate lunch so we gave it a try.  This place is freaking amazing.  Hana shared the teriyaki steak plate with the E-Train and I had shared my Ekolu Special Plate with Brady-wan.  The Ekolu Special has teriyaki steak, teriyaki chicken and kalua pig.  Their plates are served like any other Hawaiian plate lunch with rice and macaroni salad.  The steak and chicken were tender and juicy and the kalua pig was amazing, not too wet and not too dry.  Their teriyaki sauce is very tasty and the amount of ginger gives if a nice kick. 

 

Maybe even better than their food is the authentic shave ice that they also have for dessert!!!  They will even put a scoop of vanilla ice cream and/or azuki beans in the bottom and top it off with sweetened condensed milk.  The only thing better would have been macadamia nut ice cream, but that would be too good to be true.  They have 28 flavors and let you pick up to 3!  Brady was shaking with excitement as we watched them create his giant shave ice.  The crazy kid ate almost the whole thing.  I don't think I've ever seen him so excited about something non-Star Wars before in my life.  He was possessed. 

 

Simply put, you must go try this place.  It is fan-freaking-tastic.  And lucky me, I have left-overs for lunch today!

Um...I just thank you from the bottom of my heart for telling me about the existance of this place. I will try not eat there every single day for the rest of my life. If I start gaining weight, thats why.

I think it is awesome that one of your top 10 places is an unnamed sidewalk cart in Mexico. Like I'm one to talk, the best meal I ever ate was beef broth in pioneer trek.
