What the heck? There’s an actual restaurant called What the Pho?
Yes, yes there is. You can’t make this stuff up!

Nice Catch by a Non-Foodie
Over on the Degenerasian blog, there’s this post showing a dude catching a foul ball with his pizza box. Nice catch! Though he must not be a foodie since there’s no way he’d sacrifice his pizza for a foul ball!

Starbucks Giving Away Free Ice Cream to Facebookers
If you’re lucky, you might be able to get free Starbucks ice cream as a Facebook fan of the green mermaid logo.
As part of National Ice Cream month, Facebook users can install the Starbucks Share application and see if you can get one of the highly sought 20,000 free pints of ice cream. Supposedly 800 coupons are given out each hour (don’t try now since this hour’s 800 is already gone). From the wording of the promotion, it sounds like you pick a friend to gift the free ice cream to?? Promotion ends July 19. Good luck!
At worst, you can still get a $1 off coupon for Starbucks ice cream.
Thanks to The Counter!
Just wanted to say thanks to The Counter for giving Hawaii its own Twitter special last night. If you bought two burgers on “Twitter Tuesday” then you’d get either free sweet fries or a dessert.
To beat the crowds, we got there a tad bit early but got the okay that the special would still apply. :)Â We went with the traditional Counter Burger, my custom creation, a peanut butter shake, and some free sweet fries.
So ono!
And by the time we were leaving, the mass of Hawaii tweeters were congregating for their Counter dinner. And oh yeah, congratulations to Ryan Kanno for being voted the most addicted to The Counter. In his honor, I call my custom made Counter burger “If Kanno Were a Carnivore.”
The Most Addicted to The Counter Burger Is…
The people have spoken, and the undisputed, most addicted fan of The Counter burgers is none other than Ryan Kanno. @ryankanno garnered over half the votes, beating the fanatic likes of @abaggy and @angelakeen.
Even with an impassioned entreaty for Pinoy support, @abaggy couldn’t keep up with the social engineering of Mr. Kanno. Congratulations Ryan! You get pulpy bragging rights until next time where contenders like @melissa808 are already lining up.
Poll: Who’s Most Addicted to The Counter Burgers
With all the Twitter talk about The Counter burger at Kahala Mall, Pulpconnection wonders who is the most addicted to The Counter burgers?
Place your vote until Tuesday, June 30 when The Counter tweetup goes down. And be sure to pass along this Twitter poll using this shortened link http://poll.fm/11a3h
Crepes in Kailua
If you happen to be craving crepes while in Kailua, head on over to 131 Hekili Street, the home of Crepes No Ka `Oi.
Their menu features both sweet and savory crepes which are surprisingly filling. We sampled the Temptation in Paradise and Lovers’ Delight (with strawberry ice cream).

And I had some illy coffee to go with the yummy food.
New Soda in Stores
Now in stores, new soda from Mountain Dew and Aloha Maid?!
Mountain Dew’s Game Fuel Horde Red and Alliance Blue are now in Hawaii. Here’s a review of Horde Red from Bevreview.com.
I didn’t know popular juice maker, Aloha Maid, produces soda as well. Iced tea and guava soda? Umm, I’ll pass.
New Chocolate Banana Pop Tarts
Yet another new Pop Tart flavor. This time it’s chocolate banana.
I passed since I’m still working on these boxes of hip and healthy toaster pastries.
Thought I Was Doing Good…
…eating several slices of (delayed) pizzas from CPK ASAP in Kailua until I read about this pizza eating contest.
A Twitter Dinner at Formaggio
Formaggio Grill in Kailua is hosting an upcoming “Twitter Dinner” where guests can learn about Twitter while dining. This themed meal is on Tuesday, June 2 at 6pm.
If a Twitter dinner isn’t enough, how about a job tweeting? The Murphy-Goode Winery in Sonoma County is searching for a social media maven who can jump start the winery’s Web 2.0 presence. We’re talking Facebook, blogs, Twitter, YouTube, and whatever else you can think of.
This temporary job goes for six months and pays $10,000 per month as you live on the lands of the Murphy-Goode Winery. If this job is to your tasting, interviews will be at Formaggio on June 3rd.
