Eat at Obama's favorite Hawaii restaurants

Obama's

President Barack Obama, with daughter Sasha Obama, 8, center, and other family friends, enjoy shave ice at Island Snow in Kailua, Hawaii Friday, Jan. 1, 2010. The Obamas are in Hawaii for the holidays.

HONOLULU — President Barack Obama doesn't need a restaurant guide when he visits Hawaii.

When the island icon comes home to visit family and vacation, he knows exactly where and what to eat. His favorites range from Hawaii's top fine-dining establishments to walk-up windows where $10 could buy a carb-rich feast.

Michelle Obama once said, "You can't really understand Barack until you understand Hawaii."

And there's no way to truly experience Hawaii without tasting the local "grinds."

During his past two visits to Honolulu, where he was born and raised, Obama provided a glimpse of what pleases his presidential palate. While he has undoubtedly become a fan of Chicago fare, he didn't experience deep-dish pizzas or Italian beef sandwiches growing up.

The closest young Obama got to snow was slurping a Hawaiian shave ice.

"I'm going to get a plate lunch," Obama proclaimed, moments after arriving in Honolulu on his August vacation.

The name "plate lunch" doesn't quite do it justice. It should be called: Heaping pile of rice and meat crammed into a plastic foam container that could feed a small family, costs about $6, will require a couple of Rolaids and induce a two-hour nap.

And if there's nothing on the plate that's deep fried, soaked in mayonnaise, smothered in gravy or doubles your bad cholesterol level, it's not a true plate lunch.

That could account for why the health-conscious president we see now was pleasantly plump during his childhood when he was known as "Barry."
Obama's

Plate lunches have been a part of Hawaii for decades. They are believed to have originated in the 19th century plantation era, when sugarcane workers brought rice, pickled vegetables and other leftovers from dinner and took a lunch break together in the shade. Decades later, "lunch wagons" started delivering plate lunches to laborers, much like they do today.

Plate lunches reflect the state's multicultural population, with Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Filipino, Hawaiian and American influences.

There are literally hundreds of combinations of plate lunches to choose from, and some places now offer gourmet selections and more healthy choices with brown rice and tossed salads, instead of the traditional white rice and macaroni salad.

Plate lunches are widely available from white lunch wagons parked around downtown and at many restaurants. The best spots don't show up in tour books, but the locals prefer it that way, because the lines are already too long.

Besides plate lunches, island cuisine often focuses on fresh fish and vegetables grown locally with seasonings borrowed from across the Pacific Rim.

At one point during his last visit, Obama offered journalists a shave ice. Hawaii's shave ice is a monster version of the snow cone, featuring fine-shaved powder with no icy chunks and a long list of tropical flavors.

"Guys, here's your chance," Obama said. "No? I'm telling you, this is really good."

From a French point of view i really enjoy the delectable description of plate lunches "Heaping pile of rice and meat crammed into a plastic foam container that could feed a small family, costs about $6, will require a couple of Rolaids and induce a two-hour nap." That is not indeed a delicate three stars restaurant with vin de Loire.

Obama ate Mustard on his lunch when he went to a restaurant, so what is his favorite unkosher food since he does not like ketchup?

I was on the fence but liked George Bush's wars and I liked the trickle down from businesses rather than this new trickle down from government. I made and luckily continue to make money but it seems like I see even more homeless people and less people on planes, on the golf course and in my favorite french restaurant. Just curious what others are thinking.

Do you realize there is a 12 word sentence you can tell your partner... that will trigger intense emotions of love and impulsive attraction to you buried inside his heart?

That's because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that fuels a man's instinct to love, idolize and guard you with his entire heart...

=====> 12 Words Who Fuel A Man's Desire Response

This instinct is so hardwired into a man's brain that it will drive him to try harder than before to love and admire you.

As a matter of fact, triggering this all-powerful instinct is absolutely binding to getting the best ever relationship with your man that the moment you send your man one of these "Secret Signals"...

...You'll immediately find him open his heart and soul for you in a way he haven't experienced before and he'll distinguish you as the one and only woman in the galaxy who has ever truly attracted him.

Look at the way my friend Wesley Virgin's autobiography launches in this SHOCKING and controversial video.

Wesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he discovered hidden, "MIND CONTROL" tactics that the CIA and others used to get everything they want.

THESE are the exact same tactics many famous people (notably those who "come out of nowhere") and elite business people used to become wealthy and famous.

You've heard that you use only 10% of your brain.

That's mostly because most of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

Perhaps this expression has even occurred INSIDE your very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head seven years ago, while riding an unlicensed, beat-up trash bucket of a car without a driver's license and with $3.20 in his bank account.

"I'm very fed up with living paycheck to paycheck! Why can't I turn myself successful?"

You've been a part of those those thoughts, ain't it so?

Your success story is going to be written. You just have to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
