  • “I’m excited to taste a little bit of Hawaiʻi,” says host Sheldon Simeon on his way to Kauai Family Restaurant - a Hawaiian restaurant in Seattle’s Georgetown neighborhood. Simeon grew up Hilo, a town on the Big Island, and it’s not lost on him that he’s finding the comforting food of his home all the way in Seattle.

    I remember as a child we gathered at some picnic in Hawaii and a Portuguese 50 year old gentleman would take the time to have fun with us kids. Till this day I remember his face. I hope his spirit watches over me.

      Everybody whos older than you is referred to as uncle or aunty in Hawaii no matter the race, color or religion! It’s about you give respect, you get respect back in return. Because you older, that doesn’t mean you can’t return the respect also!

      Chef Rafi's Awesome World I know what you mean. I live on the coast in MS, and would think there'd be an abundance of fresh caught local fish. But no. So disappointing. Lots of shrimp & oysters but mostly farmed catfish & tilapia. Everything fried to death gets boring.
