GUAM

()

One thing that PROA has created that I will never get tired of eating is their exceptional barbecue! It is not your typical local barbecue - they have fashioned their marinade in what they call Marianas Glaze. I had the Big Feller Trio ($18.95) the other night just before they closed. It has a combination of Beef Short Ribs, Chicken Thighs, and Pork Spare Ribs. I habitually order this, however, I learned that night that I could change my order to get more Short Ribs instead of Spare Ribs - I watched my neighbor at the bar eating that and wondered why she had so many more pieces of Short Ribs than me! Although PROA doesn't consider itself a "Chamorro" restaurant (they coined their own culinary descriptor as "Marianas Regional Cuisine"), they serve up some awesome Red Rice and superb finadene! You can eat it with everything!

I did learn that PROA HAGATNA will be extending their hours to stay open all day (effective March 1), although with a limited menu (barbecue items primarily - which is fine by me!). Now I can stop by and eat my faves when I am having my typical late lunch!!
