I finally had some Mexican Coke and it was very pleasant. A clean sweetness that lacked some of the acid I often taste in a can or bottle of coke. Not to mention the finish was wonderfully absent of any sort of mouth coating film. I can see why it is one of your beverages of choice.
I was drawn to the Hilo side and that was my first instinct so i think i should stay with that. i am also a massage therapist so friends are pushing me more to the kona side. i also am a chef and well trained barista also am thinking waiting tables might be okay as well. i am open to many things. i figure once i get there and get situated i can start fine tuning and searching out opportunities. what do you think about that?
Hello and aloha, I hear you might know a bit about hawaii and I was wondering if i might pick your brain a bit. I am moving to the big island in Oct/Nov and am wondering about coffee jobs on the island any tips. thanks.
that's some pretty helpful insight. I really appeciate the tips. On a separate note, I noticed in your blog that you not only love coke, but mexican coke; so what is the defining difference that makes it so desirable?
I've been really attentive especially to your preparations and dish selections for 'spro. Chris Deferio and I are in the midst of helping dream for a new shop and want to introduce a more culinary aspect to both what we do on the bar and the kind of food we offer. It's good to see more than just a deli sandwich menu
Also, on a similar note to your blog, my good friend who works at Alinea and has also studied in the summer at Iowa State's creative writing program decided to start an artfully written site dedicated to critiquing Chicago area restaurants. The site is www.chigagou.wordpress.com
