Signature Prime Steak and Seafood is a new restaurant in Honolulu which opened just last month at the top of the Ala Moana Hotel. My 96-year old friend, Ed Jurkens, and I usually have two steak dinners a year:
We started with a double gin martini of Hedrick's from Scotland, then a Cabernet Sauvignon. I had two dishes, a Caesar's salad:
Which I ate with my fingers, and a bone-in rib-eye with truffles mash potatoes and asparagus:
The steak was a bit overdone, but very, very tasty. Not a terribly great shot, but my view was a Blue Full Moon:
This was a Tuesday night, and the place was packed...mostly locals. Not only was the food exceptional, but the staffing was superb. As my birthday is around the corner, a very large triple chocolate cake came gratis, which Ed ate. Here he is with Tempsy Gryder, their Event and Service Specialist:
Signature is Peter Kim's (below) latest adventure, and a great addition to his Yummy's take-outs:
If you don't know his story, he was a placekicker for the University of Hawaii football team, who transferred to kick for Coach Bear Bryant at Alabama.
But that was not all for the night. We then walked to Ed's apartment at 1350 Ala Moana and watched "Jiro Dreams of Sushi." We also were treated to a fireworks show from the Hilton Hawaiian Village:
