Bad boy chef Anthony Bourdain airdropped into Honolulu to tape a segment of "No Reservations." The
Honolulu Star-Bulletin's Betty Shimabukuro gots the goods and chatted with Big Tony as he chowed down on Colin Nishida's choice grinds at Side Street Inn, the-off-the-beaten-path chef's haunt in the shadow of Ala Moana Shopping Center. I do love Side Street and Chef Colin's fab pork chops, kimchee fried rice, and super solid fish preparations. Bourdain got to eat Chinese style sashimi seared with peanut oil, a delicacy often not on the menu. You go, Tony!

I felt Colin Nishida showed his ignorance of history by equating plantation workers with “slaves.” Talk about offensive.
