It’s coming! Rodney Sagucio, John Hao-Bergado, Pili Akau and the Shaka Burger crew give a preview of their offering when they open in the Central Pacific Bank parking lot later this week (did they say Thursday?) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Kudos to all (!!!) the organizers of the three major Fourth of July celebrations — the Freedom Fest (mahalo, Tom Clements and Sara Sexton, and Mel Rapozo had the right idea — rent a cottage!), the Kekaha Fourth of July celebration (kudos Sam Bustillos, Darryl Kua and company — the West Kauai Methodist culinary offerings — they come to Lihue for the Lights on Rice holiday parade! — are a tradition), and the Kauai Hospice Concert in the Sky (great job, Tricia Yamashita, who balances between being the acting executive director and the concert event coordinator!).
