Aloha Tiki Tribe!
Celebrity Iron Chef Sam Choy lives in the same town on the Big Island as I do: Kailua-Kona. I met Sam a few times at some events at the very Tiki-fied resort here "The Royal Kona Resort. He's a great guy. So funny, and really seems to be "living aloha". He's also an Award winning Chef - one of the top 300 chefs in the world I heard. His expertise? He's known as a Founding Contributor of "Pacific Rim Cuisine" - The kinda' food you find in TIKI Restaurants! In 2004, Sam Choy was awarded the highly prestigious "James Beard Foundation Award" for a whole type of cuisine - what I would call "Tiki Food".
He also started the highly popular "POKE Festival" here in Kona. He's been on "Hawaii 5 O" a couple of times, plus tons of other things he's won & accomplished in his life. It also seems like everyone on the Big Island knows him. I picked him up at the Kona airport once, and I tell ya' it took FOREVER to just to get his luggage and walk to the car, cause every 5 steps some local person came up and smiled saying; "Hey Uncle Sam Choy! Howzit?!" - and being the sweet kinda' guy Sam is, he stops and talks to every single person.
Anyways, a friend of his needed something to do, and asked Sam if he could try making a food show about him on You-Tube. Of course, Sam said "Sure!".
So was born "Sam Choy's in the Kitchen".
It's an amateur show where this Famous Chef shows up a people's homes here in Kona, finds what-ever left-overs in their refrigerator, and makes a fantastic gourmet meal out of them.
Well, on "Episode 11", he came to"The Tiki Shark Studios" aka my house (I work outa' my house) !!
We tried to goof up Sam a little. It was a hoot!

ALOHA!
