King of wok
This is just an incredible Chinese Wok Master, you notice the flames, and how hot the wok is, and how quickly he does these stir fries. This is the real deal.

HEY THE ______ ING CHEF DIDN'T WASH HIS HANDS MAN!
Anyhow, I'm sitting at the bar having a mug of cold Heineken, but my bladder was telling me, "Hey shit head, I gotta empty out." So I'm like okay bladder, let's go empty out. As I stood bleeding my bladder at the urinal, I noticed the chef walk into a stall and light up a cigarette. There's only one reason why someone lights up a cig in the restroom. He's taking a dump. But me for some reason after I was done, I had to go back in the restroom to get something I thought fell out of my pocket. So I'm back in there and the chef was coming out of the stall, he looks at me and smiles and walks right out. What?! Is this a Seinfeld episode? The guy no doubt was taking a crap. Long story short, I went back to the bar, and asked the bartender, "Hey did the order for the wings go through?" He's like "Yeah Ron, in fact ah.. it's coming out in a second, you want extra Ranch?"
Hmmm, I had to think of an exit strategy, quick Ron think! Okay I got it, "Hey dude, I gotta run, here's a twenty and a couple more that should cover the tab. Give those wings to someone in the restaurant or eat it for you and the staff, take that new mug of Heineken and give it to someone coming in that's hot and thirsty." He looks at me like nothing, no big deal, "Okay man, have a good one Ron."
Until next time
Ron

MEAT JUN AT MAUI FOOD STYLE
I was feeling hungry, but I was tired of the same old foods in Lahaina. Didn't want any mainland bistro crap. Didn't want a loco moco from L&L. Hmmm, I got it! I'll catch the bus to Lahaina Square and eat beef chow fun at No. 1 Chinese BBQ, yeah that's the ticket!!!!
Did I go to No.1 BBQ? Yes I did, well I walked through the parking lot only to notice there were like 3 families with 4-5 people each, and one weird looking homeless guy. Didn't want to get asked for money, or didn't want to converse with some guy from who knows where, sorry wasn't in the mood, all wanted to do was scarf a plate of beef chow fun.
Hell with this, that guy's going to bug me, I can see it. What's this next door an open sign is bright red calling me to check it out. And I did, it was the new guys that took the spot where Zushi Japanese Foods was located. Art the owner waved me inside. "Hey come inside don't look through the window." Alright, I'm inside. I noticed the photos of the food on the wall looked really good.
So Art told me he and his wife has been opened for over a year, why did I wait this long to sample this Korean influenced diner? My family members go there occasionally and have good things to say about it. I just explained that I was busy or something, sad excuse considering I live only a mile away.
"So we can make a plate with anything you see on the menu, and you get a choice of white or brown rice, and four sides." I looked at the sides, and I saw seaweed salad, cucumber kimchi, kimchi cabbage, and mac salad. "I'll take those four, those sides I was just contemplating, and I want the Meat Jun."
The thing I like about this place is that Art and his wife cooks the food fresh, and the portions are more than generous, I mean if I was married I could have shared that meat jun plate, but I'm not so it was all for MEEEEEE! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! I AIN'T SHARING THIS PLATE BABY!!!! Art even brought me the plate to the table, that was good service. The meat jun was tender, and it was tasty, not like teriyaki, some people make meat jun and it tastes like teriyaki, too sweet. And it was cut into larger than bite sized pieces, you could finger pick it, or just stab it with your fork, or chopsticks, it was sliced so you didn't need to bring any knives. The sides of veggies was excellent too, the kimchi cabbage rocked, with hints of shrimp inside, this was an awesome evening of mopping up a Korean style plate.
