Dear "Guam Food Guy" Reader,"Hafa adai, ladies, and welcome to Guam, where America's 'food day' begins!'" Now that's how I should have begun the presentation I made this past Tuesday night to the Oakleaf Club at Flag Circle at the Visiting Officers Quarters on Nimitz Hill in Piti. The Oakleaf Club is a group of Navy spouses and active duty officers affiliated with the medical, dental, nurse and medical service commands on Guam. They are also the group responsible for making that infamous "Boonie Pepper Jelly" which I sampled with some cream cheese and chips - simply awesome!! I really enjoy making these live food guy perfomances and believe me the audience, consisting mainly of relative newcomers to Guam, are happy to get a lot of first-hand tips on where to go for good eats.
Of course, the GuamDiner.com website plays a major role as it is the resource where many go to for reviews, restaurant information, and recipes. As I've said before, I'm always delighted and thrilled to be able to tell Guam's "food story" to newcomers as well as to anyone who wants to know where to go for their favorite foods.
The exciting thing is that the members of the Oakleaf Club are going to spread the word about our site and about the publications where our writing is found, which is primarily Directions Magazine and Guam Food Today. I also mentioned our radio shows on K57, which is every Friday afternon with Travis Coffman and every third Saturday for the K57 Tourism & You Guam Food Guy segment. There's so much to share, and truthfully, in the 90 minutes of my talk, I barely scratched the surface - fortunately, I showed them where and how to "dig" for information.
Thank you ladies for being such a lively and interested audience - I'd be happy to do it again!!
Ken, the "Guam Food Guy"
