Wow! All I can say is Sam Choy is a really nice guy!
Talk about "ROCK STARS" - Iron Chef Sam Choy is REALLY well known on the big Island. Just the short distance from the Air Terminal "exit", to the baggage claim & the short walk to the car, at least 30 to 50 people came up and said "Hi Sam!" - Wow! It blew my mind.

I mean, sometimes a few people in town will approach me and say hi 'cause they know me or like my Art…. but nothing like THIS - it seemed like every single freakin' person at the Kona Airport knew who Sam Choy was, ...and wanted to say "HI" or shake his hand, or get a picture!

Sam's so patient. After a LONG... ( I know, cause I had to get up in the dark before sun-rise & drive Abbas to the airport this morning) ...long work day, business meetings on Oahu, and a couple of plane flights, & still Sam took time to smile and say something nice to every single person who came up or waved to him.
I could see he was exhausted, but he didn't let his mood change, or his smile slip, not once.
I guess that's what makes him a star. He really is an IRON CHEF …and a super nice Hawaiian guy just bustin' full of Aloha.

MAHALO and ALOHA, Mister IRON CHEF Sam Choy - you are my hero!!
