BC Burrito

BC Burrito

BC Burrito has been open in Kaimuki for almost a year and a half. Billing itself as a maker of fresh, made-to-order burritos, they certainly fill the bill. BC Burrito straddles the line between a fast food place and one that builds to order. They also pride themselves on a variety of hot sauces available for your taste buds (while you still have one), and they have an all you can drink self serve soda fountain (one of my prerequisites for a regular lunch place).

The hot sauce selection at BC Burrito

My typical meal there is either a 12 inch or 10 inch chicken mole burrito on wheat (the tortillas come in a variety of types), with cheddar cheese (choice of jack or cheddar, included in the 12 inch but not the smaller sizes), pinto beans (choice of black or pinto), rice, and mild salsa (yeah, call me a wimp). Guacamole and sour cream are available for extra charge. The burritos are served in an aluminum foil wrapper, which is carefully peeled away when eating.

The dining area is relatively small but can seat over 30; there were only a couple of diners when I was there on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant also offers free wireless Internet access through its access point (password required, ask at the desk). I tend to take the table near the electrical outlet.

Perhaps the biggest drawback to BC Burrito is its lack of parking, which anyone in the Kaimuki area will tell you, is true of the entire area.

All in all, BC Burrito makes a tasty, made-to-order meal at a relatively reasonable price, with the bonuses of a large assortment of hot sauces, an all you can drink soda fountain, and free wireless access, with the downfall of horrid parking. In my book, it’s worth a look.

The Jewel - 99.5 FM

I stumbled upon this jewel at a garage sale.  Huh?  Yes, at a garage sale.  While we were looking at the things for sale, I couldn’t help but enjoy the different songs that were playing.  I thought it was someone’s playlist on their iPod until I heard a commercial break and the station’s call letters - 99.5 The Jewel.  As soon as we returned to the car, I quickly switched the radio station to the Jewel.  And it’s been on that station just about the whole time since then.  Unfortunately, I can’t catch the station at work and not too clear at home, but very well in the car.

Give it a shot.  What’ve you got to lose - it’s free.  Maybe the Jewel will take you too, back to a time when life was easier. 

btw, our favorite station to listen to when we’re in Vegas - KSNE or Sunny 106.5.  Click on it, listen live - and image yourself on vacation…
