Eat the Street April

How this town’s biggest street food scene went down in Kakaako last night

Eat the Street April

Fourth time out, ETS has found its groove. You can put it in your calendars: Last Friday of the month, every month. Same ginormous Kakaako city block, same rock-star status as the biggest street food scene ever in Honolulu.

So what's different? Thirty-two trucks and vendors this time, six of them new, like Flip't Out Eats. New dishes on the menu boards (like FOE's banana split lumpia), new smells wafting across the lot, new buzz.

#Mahalo to my Nonstop partners for another great post!! Awesome pics and yes, the sky was beautiful!!! #Aloha and until next month. :)

It's really cool to hear how successful Eat the Street has been. I just wish I could experience one for myself, but it seems I'm just going to miss the next one. If only I could fly in a couple of days earlier!

Ah the first Eat The Street to be affected by weather. I got there after the early big downpour and it was OK for the rest of the night. It was good for me as an attendee as I was able to park in the lot for the first time and less people made for a more chill atmosphere. I stayed all the way to the end. However I think the trucks would have obviously wanted more people to show up.

Other factors that affected the crowd, in my opinion: no Gogi Korean Taco Truck (can't help that, but hey they were a big draw), also it seemed like this Eat The Street's promo started a little later than usual as well both on this site and on TV. I think promo needs to get going earlier like before. This event is still new and I don't think people are used to the fact that it's gonna be the last Friday of each month yet.

But anyway like I said I had a good time. There seemed to be more trucks that had smaller offerings of their food so I could sample more. I also tried to avoid places that had food that would make me full too early, which is what happened to me the previous ETS. Flip't Out Eats had a nice debut, Inferno's Wood Fire Pizza looked like they were doing good as well. As always can't wait for the next one! :-)

WERUreo Sure is! Just flipped the switch back on and reconnected close to 2000 new conversations since the big Amazon EC2 outage that took livefyre along with many large websites down.

Will be monitoring the comments throughout the day. Mahalo for noticing!
