Aku Eats Oahu

Uncle Ken's Corner Table

Uncle Ken currently resides on Oahu, but grew up on the Big Island of Hawaii, back in... well... let's just say a little while back... I first met him on a group tour to Japan, and always came away impressed with his artwork, attention to detail, obviously sharp and creative mind, and wealth of experiential information. Plus, he was just a nice guy!!! Real local-style - laid-back, funny, and super-friendly.

Once in a while Uncle Ken checks out my pages and sends me interesting little tidbits of facts or stories that help to illuminate the subject a little more, all of which have proven themselves helpful, informative, and always entertaining.

I don't know how Uncle ken gets all his stuff, but I find them so interesting, I thought I'd share them with you all! Here are a few of them you may want to check out:
