caribbean french toast

at 10am there was still a 35 minute wait to be seated but i'm telling you this breakfast is well worth the wait!!  they actually serve breakfast all day but this was one of those mornings that just seemed like it needed to happen so a few of us hit up the palo alto creamery at the stanford shopping center.  i've ordered this a few times and i can not get enough of it.. it's perfectly filling, flavorful and a fun change from standard french toast with coconut, caramelized bananas and maple syrup.

el farolito

who doesn't love hitting up taquerias late at night??  it's the perfect place to go cause not only are they open late but they are fast, cheap and delicious!

i split a chicken quesadilla and a carne asada burrito.  it was too much food but i can't believe how cheap it was considering i think i paid $11 bucks after tax for both i items and a coke.  WOW right?  most people walking by this corner spot would pass on by and pick to dine at one of the other 5 taquerias on the same block.  my recommendation would be to not let this hole in the wall distract you from the goodness they sever between these tortillas.

oh and my cream cheese won tons

teddy's

real authentic hawaiian experience i know, first mexican food for lunch then burgers for dinner.  sorry i'm sure this is a disappointment to you all and i feel i've somehow failed you with my food choices for the day.  however i really enjoyed my food at teddy's bigger burgers!  i split 2 burgers with a friend so that we could try 2 burgers instead of settling for just one.

las pinatas

i still don't know why a burrito from las pinatas was my first meal after landing in maui.  i'll blame it one the fact that was hungry and it wasn't worth pushing to go eat somewhere else with so many hungry people.

the funny thing is that i can remember eating the entire burrito but i couldn't even tell you how much i enjoyed it or what i ordered.  i guess the fact that i don't remember at least means it wasn't bad.

do not try this at home

or anywhere for that matter.  i honestly don't know which is worse the terrible idea to mass produce such crap or the fact that i wanted to try them. i guess it doesn't really matter considering both options ended up being a poor ideas. right about now i wish i had a take back!!
