Do they have musubi? Previously had to go to LA for Hawaiian BBQ (Kahuna Grill is good but it's not the "Hawaiian style" as I know it!) Edited by - tinchef on 01/10/2006 12:47:59 PM Zachary Bon Vivant 628 Posts Posted - 01/10/2006 : 12:25:44 PM You know what? I'm going to go there right now and get back to you. Zachary Bon Vivant 628 Posts Posted - 01/10/2006 : 1:52:51 PM Yes, they do have Musubi. And I'm going to have to mull over my report. L&L is a chain, with about 100 links on the mainland. Remember what "the Insider" said about the reason for some local restaurant's success? The reason that places like Bouchon, Ca Dario, Luckys, Miro, and Opal have maintained that expected level of excellence to cost ratio is because they follow the key ingredients of fine dining. The perfect staff (I use the term loosely) excels in knowledge, attention to details, personality, patience and have the powers of assessment. The perfect management/ownership (again on the loose side) display trust, have strict training requirements, must be available to staff and customer alike and remain consistent. Managers/owners are like parents, coaches, and in their own way, gods. This is the "success formula" from the L&L website: The owners attribute their success to a decentralized system of ownership in which each restaurant is a separately incorporated profit center run by partners in the corporation or individual owners. Quite a difference. Like I said, I'll get back to you shortly. Tinchef Starting Member 25 Posts Posted - 01/10/2006 : 2:14:54 PM The other difference is that the aforementioned local places are "fine" dining establishments. L&L is basically "fast" food! Zachary Bon Vivant 628 Posts Posted - 01/10/2006 : 2:28:24 PM quote: The other difference is that the aforementioned local places are "fine" dining establishments. L&L is basically "fast" food! Correction--"a separately incorporated profit center." I knew nothing about L&L when I drove out there. I secretly hoped that it would be a real bbq. It isn't. But it *is* good, at least what I had (combo #1 bbq mix plate). No underground pit, no whole pig, but it wasn't bad at all. More of a bbq sauce place than a bbq, since I didn't see anything resembling a bbq. Longer report to follow. gki Advanced Diner USA 75 Posts Posted - 01/10/2006 : 3:25:34 PM L&L Hawaiian Barbecue The Plaza 7127 Hollister Ave., #21 Goleta, CA 93117 Phone: (805) 968-8880 Fax: (805) 968-8882 http://www.hawaiianbarbecue.com The Lau-Lau Plate is much more interesting than Musubi. Zachary Bon Vivant 628 Posts Posted - 01/10/2006 : 3:49:16 PM While I'm mulling things over, I thought you might enjoy reading what a visitor to Las Conchas (on Haley) wrote defending the restaurant on another website. To some folks, the glass is always half full... And the transvestites dont even hangout infront of or inside the restruant anymore, and they are not aloud to sell themselves at the restruant or bother the custamers in any kind of way. But they are aloud to go in and eat there if they wanted to! Even so, I think I'll pass. Gary Chef 274 Posts Posted - 01/10/2006 : 3:49:36 PM The Plaza, formerly the University Plaza. Don't bother. All fast food. The yuck quotient runs especially high there. Better to eat at Costco's. (Zachary, you just don't want to give anyone a chance.)

I hopped in the car and drove 12 miles within ten minutes of Tinchef asking abut L&L! That's giving them a pretty good chance.... Las Conchas is another story. Anyplace the transvestites aren't "aloud" to "sell themselves at the restruant or bother the custamers in any kind of way" sounds way too stuffy for me.

You are correct. But for quick on the go food I prefer Musubi over hamburgers.

Lets figure this. Sixty-five miles an hour x 12 = 920 multiplied by an anxiety factor of 1.61255 divided by 10 means you drove 96.4 miles an hour to get to a fast food restaurant that featured Hawaiian food that is barbequed but cant even be found in Hawaii. I rest my case.

Coming Soon Aqua BAMBOO HOTEL, Waikiki The Aqua Bamboo Hotel is recently renovated from the former Marc Hotel . The address is 2425 Kuhio Ave ., local telephone 808-922-7777 . The Bamboo's lobby [with large plasma screen TV] and pool area are very lovely, and in our room there are a lot of great features, including custom designed furniture, crown moldings, quality carpet, glass brick shower stall, a double sink curved vanity, slatted wood bathroom ceiling. With an "official" summer rate of $145 for the VERY spacious room [ significantly cheaper on the internet ], it includes a kitchenette without a microwave, a sitting area with TV, sofa and desk, a separate bedroom that is behind a louvered wood shutter wall, three sliding glass doors for great ventilation, a lanai, and the room is located high enough above the street not to be too noisy. The problems here were just cosmetic, but I filled out an opinion form my third day, and the problems were fixed, so high marks go to the Bamboo for quick response. The rooms are a very good value, tastefully decorated in a kind of Metropolitan Home magazine sort of modern Asian theme, and for my needs [computer, photo equipment, paperwork, my need to cook], just about perfect.

Many people wonder if they'll "need" to rent a car on Oahu. Even though TheBus circles the island for a ridiculously low fare, you won't have access to all the side roads and back roads along the way. The cost of renting a car is so low, especially considering all the money you've already spent to get here, it makes no sense to not rent a car for at least a day.

Hawaiian Music What is

Music Laboratory Research-Genre Study-Ethnic Music-Hawaiian Music Research -> Genre Study -> Ethnic Music -> Hawaiian Music What is ethnic music? What element distinguishes an ethnic music style from other ethnic music styles? For example, what is the difference between Okinawa music and Scotland music? I think elements of music are (1) melody (scale), (2 ) chord, (3) rhythm, and (4) instruments. First, let's think about melody. Rock and Blues are easy examples, even though they are not ethnic music. Rock uses normal music scale while Blues includes blue-notes in its music scale. Next, think about chords. Rock uses simple chords (triad) while Jazz includes 7th in its chords. Chord progression of Jazz is more complicated than that of Rock as well. For rhythm, Rock uses 8 beat, Fusion uses 16 beat, Jazz uses 4 beat. Finally, think about musical instruments. It is easy to see differences between Classical music and Rock music. Especially, musical instruments are important elements of ethnic music, since each country has different music instruments. I am trying to capture features of each ethnic music style based on this idea, and to reproduce them with automated composing system. This page includes considerations that I faced when I embedded functions of ethnic music composition. About Hawaiian Music I am not sure that people consider Hawaiian music as ethnic music. But the music has very strong characteristics. Hawaiian music uses very slow sliding guitars and ukuleles. Guitar strings are tuned for major chord. (This kind of guitar is called slack key guitar.) So, Hawaiian music uses many major chords in its chord progression. I am not sure but I guess guitarist uses bottle neck and scratch strings with it. (I need more information,please help me.)
