Just got back from a heavenly, (if rather wet) delayed honeymoon on the beautiful island of Kauai. (Nice.) Had my first Mai Tai there, and now am addicted. :biggrin:

Where is the best in Seattle? And...anyone got a good recipe? I heard 50 different ones while I was there...

(BTW... IMHO, the Teriyaki ((Shoyu)) Burger at Duane's Ono CharBurger on Kauai could not hold Orange King's Teriyaki Burgers jock. O.K. is FAR cheaper as well.)

The Fat Boy Guzzle --- 1/2 oz each Jack Daniels, Wild Turkey, Southern Comfort, Absolut Citron over ice in a pint glass, squeeze 1/2 a lemon and top with 7-up...Credit to the Bar Manager at the LA Cafe in Hong Kong who created it for me on my hire. Thanks, Byron. Hope you are well!

I'll volunteer to be on the judging panel for this one. :biggrin:

I useta think that a mai tai was something that you ordered as a joke during a bachelor party at Trader Vic's or the Tonga Room. But after a heavenly series of mai tais on Maui last year, I have seen the light.

p.s. The Painkiller was our drink of choice in the Carribean: Rum, orange juice, pineapple juice, and a little Coco Lopez.

The owner/bartender at Ovio Bistro (West Seattle) introduced me to these recently. He used Malibu rum in place of the Coco Lopez. Very nice.

If they haven't lost the magic of the Island's since closing their Hawaii Restaurant it's possible that "Canlis" Restaurant will do it right.

During most of the years that there was a "Canlis" in Honolulu, they were always in the Winners or close in the "Mai Tai" Favorites or Best ratings.

If the place where your ordering your Mai Tai doesn't carry "Dammerra Rum", to top it off with then your not getting the real thing.

I don't say that I do. But don't let it get around that I don't.

I haven't had a Mai Tai here that rivals what I was served at A Pacific Cafe on Kauai, but Claim Jumper :emabarassed to admit I go there: is the best I've had in these parts....

Most women don't seem to know how much flour to use so it gets so thick you have to chop it off the plate with a knife and it tastes like wallpaper paste....Just why cream sauce is bitched up so often is an all-time mytery to me, because it's so easy to make and can be used as the basis for such a variety of really delicious food.

Oh Godddddddddd....A Pacific Cafe was the best meal of the trip....although, the atmosphere at Ma's in Lihue was a kick as well... :smile:

That place is an all-timer. I had some food there that brought me to tears, but I guess we should probably be having this discussion on the Hawaii board...
