I had seen an announcement in one of Saipan’s papers that their Kentucky Fried Chicken location was offering Kentucky Grilled Chicken. I have had this before in the States and I love it!

Dear Guam Food Guy reader,
There are times when you just crave something you’ve not had in some time – in this case it was a long time since I’ve had Prime Rib!

It was about time that I was able to drive all the way down to Santa Rita and try out that famous burger served at Sumay Pub & Grill! I had tried several times but didn’t realize the hours of operation were not the usual times I was in the neighborhood. They were always closed when I drove by.

It’s better than just deja vu! It’s destiny! I ran into long-time friend Bob McLaughlin the other day at Cost U Less Tamuning where he was putting the final touches on his expanded presence of his Chamorro Chips Cookie stall where he was also selling hot dogs and sodas.

I had been craving a good steak for a while and finally was able to have it at Al Dente. I didn’t want just any steak, I wanted the Certified Angus Beef Porterhouse Steak, and I had notice that they had one on the Al Dente dinner menu. Now I do have a history with Al Dente and steaks, since I had glorified the C.A.B.

We welcomed the new year by observing a centuries old Japanese custom – eating a bowl of “ozoni,” the traditional “mocha” soup garnished with yuzu peel and mitsuba. Ozoni has the glutinous mochi rice cakes in savory “dashi” (soup stock) along with mushrooms, carrots (carved into stars), onions and chicken.
