Jay Eats Worldwide

One of my favorite restaurants in Honolulu is The Whole Ox in Kaka'ako, headed by   chef / owner Bob McGee .  On my last trip, I was there on the 3rd day of opening and 6 months later, the place is going strong and they now have a dinner menu.   This trip, I'm in town for the Hawai'i Food and Wine Festival  and looking forward to meeting food industry folks from around the world.  Arriving in Honolulu earlier that afternoon, I was ready for some great food.   I got invited to an impromptu dinner and wasn't going to pass up this opportunity to dine at the Whole Ox.  @nathankam, @RebeccaPang, and I arrived after the group ordered, so I had no clue what was on tonight's menu.  But I knew that everything would be great, just pass the plates...

This restaurant closed September 2013 My Honolulu friends were telling me about this chef who was raising money for a new slow food restaurant he was building in Kaka'ako . As someone who's worked with a lot of restaurants, I wanted to follow along with the progress. As my trip to Honolulu trip was getting closer, I was hoping that the restaurant would be open by the time of my arrival. The day before I arrived, I got word that the restaurant opened to rave reviews and a long line. Of course I wanted to go and so did some of my Honolulu friends. So I met up with @NctrnlBst @Melissa808 @RickNakama and @KelliNakama for breakfast. See What Jay Eats... Breakfast is Served!
