Why the rolleyes??
Is Hawai`i not allowed to have non-"unique" (whatever that means here) examples of good food? I know of a very good Mexican restaurant on the Big Island. In fact, I'd call it ono
Up until recently, Costco had a very good (i.e., "ono") hotdog. Hence, it was a good and cheap place to eat in Hawai`i. Hence the "ono" for both good food and good value.
