    I remember when Mac first started doing the food content. He was like he ain't really into this type of content but for some reason people like it so he's going to give it a try. Then came Mac Eats. Now theres higher production value, collabs and travels, and there's even a blend of introducing local cultures (the hood version, which NO ONE HAS EVER DONE) with the food.
    Keep doing your thing and expanding brother.
    Oh wait why this dude got a stack of $1s? Lol must've had a fun night.

    Islander born and raised in Hawaii here... Zippys is overrated, pretty much only the seniors love Zippys OR only at the end of a drinking night the drunks will stop there .. I personally stay away from there, overpriced for nasty ass food as well as rubbish musubis... Better to eat at the smaller local spots for local favorites, like that Lau Lau place (there is hundreds of more solid spots)... Glad u enjoyed your visit, mahaloz bradduh 🤙🏽🤙🏽
