Chef Martin Yan & Chef Sheldon Simeon’s Six-Course Asian Themed Dinner

ange turn of events I happen to be blogging about fasting and then Blizzards in the same breath of air this week. How can we resist this American institution of dining? The Dairy Queen turns 70, and the blizzard is 25 and that means its rocking 25 cent deals. Buy one Blizzard get the second for just 25 cents. Just to let you know I am not the only one excited about this, here is the buzz on

I got a recent sneak preview tour of the premises which is lovely, I am happy to report. As you drive up through Kupohi Street in the recently built Lahaina Business Park area, you almost think “whoa, how on earth are these guys going to pull off a noodle restaurant buried in this industrial space?” Then you come out at the very top of the road
