No laila he aha ka mea e pili ana i nā meaʻai e hoʻomau iā lākou e hoʻi hou mai? Ua hōʻike ʻia ka noiʻi i nā kumu ʻelima: nā meaʻai hōʻoluʻolu ʻAmelika maʻamau, nā vibes retro a me nā mea hoʻonaninani, lawelawe 24-hola, nā kumukūʻai kūpono, a me kahi lewa aloha a hoʻokipa. Ua like ia me ka hoʻi ʻana i ka manawa i kahi au maʻalahi kahi mea hopohopo wale nō inā e kauoha i nā pancakes a i ʻole waffles (a i ʻole ʻelua!).

A i ka hele ʻana i nā huakaʻi alanui, ʻo nā mea ʻai ka mea e hele ai no 84% o nā mea pane. ʻO wai ka mea makemake i nā hale ʻaina nani ke loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi pā pancakes ma kahi ʻaina ʻaina alanui? ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua ʻōlelo ʻo 1 i 4 ua mākaukau lākou e huakaʻi i waena o ka mokuʻāina e ʻike i kahi hiʻohiʻona hale ʻaina hou. ʻO ia ka mea a mākou e kapa nei i ka hoʻolaʻa ʻana i nā meaʻai maikaʻi!

Ua lilo lākou i ʻāpana o ka moʻomeheu ʻAmelika no nā hanauna, a no ka mea hāʻawi lākou i kahi ʻike manawa ʻole a paʻakikī ke loaʻa ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe. Inā he kamaʻāina maʻamau ʻoe a i ʻole he huakaʻi luhi e hele ana, hoʻohālike ʻoe i nā mea ʻai me he ʻohana lā. ʻO ia ka ʻoluʻolu, kamaʻāina, a me ke kaiāulu e hoʻomau i ka hoʻi ʻana mai o ka poʻe, a e hoʻomau i ka hana no nā makahiki e hiki mai ana.
