Scene It
Kawehi Haug is the Honolulu Advertiser's new entertainment reporter. As an equal opportunity current events junkie, she lives (and reports ... and blogs) by two rules:
1. No pop culture snobbery allowed. Because let's face it, you can't completely understand life in 2008, from politics to indie rock to reality television, if you don't keep up with popular culture.
2. Wherever you are is where it's at. Enough with the Honolulu-New York City comparisons. Leave your heart in Honolulu. It's a good place to be.
With the rules in mind, Kawehi writes about this city's vibrant (yes, vibrant — she can prove it) arts-and-entertainment scene, pop culture references included.

Clever Zagat



I just received an e-mail from a reader who, after reading my latest restaurant review on Beachhouse at the Moana Surfrider, was moved to email me zagat.com's funny list of statements that people have made in their reviews of restaurants.
The restaurant authority publishes a running list of the short-and-sweet statements that it calls the "Outtake of the Week."
Here's the list that was sent to me. (Thanks Dan!) Find more here.

  • The service is like a bad high school play: warm, well-meaning and completely inept.

  • I don't tip if I get groped.

  • I thought I was looking at an oil painting when suddenly it moved – it was my waitress.

  • Foam is not the solution.

  • The flagship of a fleet that needs an overhaul.

  • I’m pretty sure I ate cow’s udders and liked them.

  • The special occasion place for people with bad taste.

  • If only the spectacular view could fill one's stomach.

  • Form over flavor.

  • The only way the tables could be closer together would be to stack them.
