Canon EOS 5D
Most of the newer photos on this site are being taken by this camera. I'm still learning how to use it, but I think the photos it takes are amazing. Though the lens I use often varies, many of the photos on this site are taken with a Canon EF 35mm f2.0 lens.
Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-U40
A majority of the photos on this site were shot using this little camera. It was compact and discreet -- excellent for taking photos under most conditions. Sadly, it has recently died.
cool!

Good to *see* you again!
I was dying to try Hank's since I read about it's opening, so when I visited Oahu over Labor Day to attend the Okinawa Festival, it was my first stop. I was thinking I'd have the duck/foie gras dog, but it was Saturday's special, so I had Friday's wild boar special and came back Saturday for the foie gras. They were both great, with really well matched toppings -- chopped apple and cranberry on the boar, and honey mustard and some kind of preserved fruit on the duck/foie. The fries, which I had with the tobiko wasabi dipping sauce were just the way I like them -- thin but not overly crisp. The next day I had the onion rings with the curry ketchup. Also good. For drinks I had the hibiscus lemonade and the pineapple ice.
The Kobe dog sounds good, too. I probably won't be back until Labor Day next year, but I look forward to trying more of the menu.
Oh, the crew there was super nice (and enthusiastic), too.

this hot dog craze is madness, rabies, at the very least. Grrrr.

Hi All,
This hot dog was great and expensive ($8.50). I told Dale that I thought it was similar to what a "hot dog" bahn mi would taste like.
He said that his goal was to do something with an Asian twist to it since most of the food he cooks is in the French culinary style.
Fats,
I'm BARELY still at it. Send me an email when you have a chance. I might be near your old stomping grounds in May.

I heard a lot about this place and owner so I decided to give it a try.
Went conservative since it was my first time and had the Chicago dog with mustard and fluorescent green relish with fries.
I was a little disappointed. The dog was just okay. A little crunchy on the outside and juicy. the fries were medium cut with the skins left on.
At $4.50 for a regular dog, I think Costco does it better. I'll probably give a more exotic dog a chance next time.

What a great name and great idea. I'd love to try this twist on a classic...
