Jack In the Box – Convoy St
I couldn’t sleep. I needed a hot apple turnover. I needed delicious fried pastry and apple filling flavor. In the old days I could go to Jack In The Box to satisfy my craving for a hot apple turnover. Now I have to go to Izzy’s Cafe. I still visit Jack on my birthday to get my free tacos on my birthday or if there is some other free food promotion.

Bushfire Kitchen – Del Mar
I have been in this parking lot before. Back when the world was younger and more innocent hot air balloons filled the sky. I followed them on my bike as they liked to land at my high school. When I grew up I wanted to ride in one and look from on high as some kid tried to follow on a bike. My dream came true and this parking lot was where they picked us up in a van and we were driving to our hot air balloon.

Greek Chicken – Winter Gardens
Gold sparkles before me. Bright like the sun. Scent of fried fish teases me. Thin tempura batter crunches in my mouth. Contrasts with the juicy fresh Alaskan cod. Flavors remind me of the fish and chips I get at the Del Mar Fair every year. Batter provides just enough saltiness to liven up the mild flavor from the cod. Fries had a crunchy outside and a creamy potato flavored inside. Excellent traditional fish and chips.

Back Home in Lahaina
Air was a mix of fresh sea breeze and earthy scent of an ancient forest. Summer’s heat was stifling but there was cool shade beneath the big banyan tree in Lahaina’s Banyan Tree Park. It was an amazing tree with 16 trunks and the canopy covered most of the park providing shade and home for small birds. My kid and my girlfriend’s kid ran around like kids do and climbed on things and explored the area. Years have past and the kids do less running and climbing but I still remember when they did under the banyan tree in Lahaina. Since my first visit to Maui I have eaten at many Hawaiian places…

Angelo’s Burgers
Who can resist this huge statue of a slightly balding, smiling gentleman holding a cheeseburger and a frosty cold one? He reminds me a bit of the old Bob’s Big Boy statue’s that seemed to be almost everywhere you went in the 70’s and 80’s. He too was holding a cheeseburger.

Carnitas Snack Shack North Park
You can’t go wrong with a place that has a humungous wood pig sculpture on their roof!

Smashburger
I’ll have to admit I was a tiny bit apprehensive about eating here as I was not sure what to expect. Pretty much standard fast food set up with the theme decoration color, Red. ❤️ It’s a fitting color as the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Maggie’s Cafe
I use to visit this area back when my mom wanted to visit a friend who lived nearby. Nice old well maintained houses and pretty quiet. I didn’t know there were food places around here. One day I noticed a food deal for Maggie’s Cafe. I knew I had to visit as my girlfriend’s name is Maggie. Maggie’s Cafe is in a quiet strip mall.
