I never, ever go downtown during the weekdays, but I needed to drop off something so I found myself there this past Tuesday. Boy, did I feel like a country bumpkin in my shorts and t-shirt walking amongst all these well-dressed, fast-moving, important-looking business people with far more important agendas on their minds than I ever did.
My parking meter only allowed enough coins for half hour max and my destination was a few blocks away, so I really needed to hele on. There I was, making good time when all of a sudden the smell of food stopped me dead in my tracks.

According to Pat of Pat's Peanuts, vendors set up their tents every second and fourth Tuesday to sell their onolicous food.

I bought a sun-dried tomato and cheese sandwich for $5 . . .

which they grilled up for me. Kinda tasted like a pizza.
The ono smell was coming from here where chicken and kalbi were being grilled.
I wanted to buy this Taro Mochi, but would you believe I did refrain. By the time I got back to my car the meter had expired. No ticket though . . . whew!

Yum, yum!!
wow, bummer, I always went down there on a Wednesday! :( Too bad, the food looks yummy!
Betty, everything looked so good, I wanted to try all kinds of stuff.
Les, the Hawaiian Style Chili Co. is at the KCC open market on Saturdays. Maybe the other venders are there too.
mmmm!
Wow, a great variety of ono looking food! I miss working in town, during lunch you can go shopping and there are great places to eat. But I don't miss the high price of everything and the super high parking, if you can even get parking. Great shots!
Kat, I agree.
Erick, you're right about the cost of parking. When I go to the zoo in Waikiki, an hour of parking costs a quarter, in town it only bought me about 10 minutes.
The food looks so good and so much variety.. so how was the sandwich? Did it taste like a pizza?
Shun Wah, it was 5 bucks and tasted just like a pizza.
