Cat Chat episode 4: Eats for guests

‘Tis the season for weight gain, parking chaos and, of course, out-of-town guests.

And these guests often want to do one thing — beside bask in the sunshine that likely don’t have back in Wisconsin: eat.

So where do you take your visitors to nosh on local food?

Fellow Nonstop blogger Melissa Chang (@Melissa808 to a lot of you) put together a gallery last month of her favorite eateries to take out-of-town guests. On the list are staff favorites Shokudo Japanese Restaurant, Kaimuki Grill and Boots & Kimo.

So we thought it would be fun to get a rundown from Melissa herself on today’s Cat Chat.

Got a question? Got a better place to take out-of-town guests? Just got something to say? Post your comments here! And subscribe to Nonstop Honolulu on YouTube!
