Mama’s Fish House View
UNBELIEVABLE. We ate at Mama’s Fish House just North of Paia, Maui — and this was the view as we dined. We were essentially on the beach. Just ridiculously spectacular.

The “Unhealthiest Drink in America” is the Baskin Robbin’s Large Heath Bar Shake. It has more calories than the DAILY RECOMMENDED VALUE for all food intake.
Somehow, the caption for this picture is hilarious to me: “Brueggie, the Bruegger’s mascot, gets checked by the Transportation Security Administration while visiting the grand opening of the CVG Airport store.”
Kathie Jenkins wrote an article entitled “10 cheap eats under $10” in the Thursday, September 27, 2007 edition of the Saint Paul Pioneer Press. Naturally, the Pioneer Press doesn’t have a version of the article online, and Jenkin’s Pioneer Press-hosted blog only has a teaser for the article, probably due to editorial restrictions. That said, some of the comments at her blog about cheap eats are rather helpful. So, I’ve decided to reproduce her list here, since I’ve been to exactly one of these places and would like to keep them in mind for the future. So, to be clear, what follows is Jenkin’s work, abbreviated here because the Pioneer Press apparently doesn’t want the advertising revenue that could result from carrying old articles. Finally, I’ve eliminated IKEA from the list of places to eat, because my experience there was atrocious. A list of 9, then!
Someday, I will eat at Blue Hill at Stone Barns in New York. As Mr. Nice Guy points out in his post about taking his wife there for their anniversary:
I sat down next to Mykala on the Fourth of July, and casually asked her a question while I did a few trivial computing tasks. “Did you notice a difference in speed for tumbledry?” I was overjoyed to hear her response: “Yes, actually—I noticed it seemed a bit faster.” Her single comment made the struggle to resolve all of the lags in delivering tumbledry at high speed to you lovely readers worth it. Now, I have thought for a while how to make an analogy that will keep the attention of the non-programmer readers of this space. You see, historically, the problem is that these techy posts become so heavily jargon laden that they are neither digestible nor desirable to anyone who doesn’t develop web applications for a living. So, yes, I could ramble about PHP, gzip compression, query optimization, JavaScript libraries, and Dean Edwards’ amazing packer… but I would alienate many, and bore many more. So, I present an analogy that is a bit rough around the edges, but should still get the point across.
I think we chatted with the owner about the fish in this really cool pond in Mai Village. He was very nice. Mykala, do you remember what the name of that expensive fish he mentioned was?
This was taken inside Mai Village, an inexpensive restaurant with amazing atmosphere. Surrounded by authenticate Vietnamese artwork, you cross over a hand-carved wooden bridge to the most comfortable restaurant I’ve been to in a while.
Voted Best Vietnamese by City Pages readers in 2006, 2005, and probably some years before that. Perfect.
