Best restaurants for a cook to work?

I'm currently looking around for a new job. I have experience with fine dining and I'm looking to get back into that, or something similar.

I'm mainly looking for places where I can learn and be exposed by other cooks that want the same.

Doesn't have to be coursed out, high class experience. For example, Pig and the Lady is a bit more casual, but you can tell that the food they serve has a lot of care and preparation put into it.

Also, i'd prefer to stay in town.

Maybe nami kaze? Bar maze? leila? idk. Welcome to any and all recommendations.

Auliʻi Cravalho says the success of ‘Moana’ helped her buy a house for her mom: “We lived in a one-bedroom apartment in Mililani when I was cast. I slept in the bedroom, my mom slept on the couch. She gave me everything. I bought my mommy a house. She’s happily retired”

Affordable vet recommendations

Aloha, seeing if anyone might have a recommendation for affordable vet care. My vet seems to take $600 every time I go for shots or a general checkup. Or, even better if you know of any affordable popup clinics since those tend to be affordable as well.

Does anyone know what happened on Vineyard Ave at about 2:30 to 3 PM today?

The Kokohead bound lane of Vineyard was blocked by the cops before entering Pali Highway and on the other side of Vineyard as well. I think I saw a hazardous material emergency vehicle and there were tons of cops on both sides of Vineyard.

Water quality/drinking water solutions

I live in the Punahou/Lower Manoa area and I'm interested in your drinking water opinions. I currently buy bottled water but it's not sustainable for several reasons. I'm thinking about making a change to a water filter pitcher as an alternative.

Is the water safe to drink here?

What do others do for drinking water?

Mahalo!

For people out surfing on North Shore in the afternoon on a weekday is it mostly visitors or do people not work?

In particular I'm at the North Shore on a Monday at 12PM. Obviously a lot of tourist including myself but I notice there's a ton of people out there surfing.

I see everone from kids to older adults. Maybe they traveled all the way to surf but some look local. I ask myself don't these people have school or jobs?

How much does a Tesla model Y cost you to own in Ewa Beach? Is it cheaper than a 4Runner?

Im talking about electricity and maintenance while living in Ewa Beach. Anyone can share their experience with costs and inconveniences.

I have a home but no solar. There are non-Tesla charging stations for pay in Wai Kai near me.

Fishing from shore around the island, specifically around Haleiwa and the North Shore.

Not looking for people's secret spots.

I'll be living in the area soon coming from the mainland where I fish for sustenance when I'm able to.

Is it realistic to think I'll be able to catch lunch/dinner out there occasionally to help supplement my daily nutritional needs as a human?

I'm the type that prefers to throw a net made of natural woven fibers instead of synthetic nylon materials. Or to use a fish trap made of natural materials compared to one made with synthetic materials. I'm currently working on a setup for rod and reel with natural fibers but not counting on that just yet.

Where I'm at now the coastline is basically all sand with no rocks. We have the ability to walk a seine net out into the water about waist deep and walk it back in able to catch a handful of edible fish like pompano and mullet. I've never fished a coastline like on the North Shore before so unsure what to expect and what's realistic.

Thank you for reading.

Mike Miske dead

In 2019 I stood up to crime boss Mike Miske in Pearlridge Mall in Aiea, HI in front of multiple witnesses and security cameras. The security guard came and asked me if I wanted to make a police report but I declined. His goonies were sent for me seemingly overnight but I got away. AMA

Because I didn't know who he was, until a year later when I recognized him getting indicted on the news, I put together a YouTube video about it to protect my family. Hurriedly and reactively put together out of a sense of pressure, with minimal actual footage of strangers acting suspiciously, the video and my attempt to share the story only garnered dismissal and ridicule. I gave up on my life and my YouTube channel until The Batman (2022) trailer came out. It was so theatric, so impactful that I thought if I could make videos like that, people would have understood and believed me. The movie itself also seemed to make a few hidden references to the incident, my life surrounding it, and some of the people involved. It inspired to keep improving my editing skills, rebrand, and continue my channel. https://youtu.be/ctCZ-NEVwHIhttps://youtube.com/@theofficialbatmanpodcast
