Description
"This volume, 'The Oroku, Okinawa Connection: Local-Style Restaurants in Hawaii,' focuses on the origins, growth, maintenance, and decline of family-run local-style restaurants owned and operated by individuals from Oroku, Okinawa.
While all but a few among the seventy or so restaurants owned by Orokun-chu are no longer in operation, many are still familiar to old-time restaurant-goers. Aloha Grill, Bluebird Café, Columbia Inn, George's Inn, Lucky Grill, New Capitol Café, Sierra Café, Smile Café, and Times Grill are places still remembered. The entrees, menus, and services associated with these establishments are longstanding standards for local restaurants and part of island history.
The interviews featured in this volume help preserve and share the history of these establishments"--From Introduction.
Glossary and Index included.
