Ken - no personal links to Vancouver except that it is one of my favorite cities (after Paris) and that I would love to live there one of these days.
Thanks for the interesting facts. For some reason I thought that Portuguese were pretty prominent in the make up but I guess I am wrong.
Perhaps the Portuguese assumption comes from the use of a lot of Portuguese sausage in local fare, or because the Malasadas that Leonard's is so famous for are Portuguese in origin, IIRC.
BTW, +1 on both Kakaako Kitchens and Nico's Pier 38, two of my favorite places in HNL.
