Rainbow Drive In. It's on Kapahulu, the closest non touristy area near Waikiki. I'd suggest you walk up there first. There's a few good spots including this one. Rainbow Drive In. It's a lunch spot, tons of people flock, a few researched tourists come, and in the end, it's just lunchy Hawaiian fast food. It's down home, comforting in a way, and a classic.

Imagine how many people want to be like him? Everyone?! And the coolest thing is the guy defended Better Luck Tomorrow at Sundance which became net news, and also wrote a book about rice cookers and using them to make all kinds of food. That's nuts and he has time to have fun too. See his blog here

Cool shot. That’s at the end of the night. Meatbun Game Night 3. Drizzly, but still fun, Game Night 3 was an all out war of gaming. From Super Meatboy projected in HD to Typing of the Dead on Dreamcast, to Street Fighter, gaming outdoors on Sawtelle is hard to beat. Meatbun featured the Ouendan style Giant Robot shirt which you see at the bottom of the photo below. Giant Robot is also proud to be carrying Meatbun shirts in all locations. The LA one has them now, SF soon!
