“Finally it became available, and we jumped on the chance,” says Peter Merriman of Monkeypod Kitchen's new beachfront location in Waikiki.
“It is the best market area in the state, and that’s our chance to access a lot of people who spend their vacation only in Waikiki and don’t venture out to Ko Olina or come to Maui to try our place,” Merriman tells SFGATE.
“The beachfront locations in Waikiki are rare,” he says. “I’ve actually been trying to get this particular location for over 20 years. So finally it became available, and we jumped on the chance.” “My existing restaurants were all fine dining,” he says. “I actually always wanted to do more like a cafe type of thing, and when I opened my restaurant in 1988, all my guests were saying, ‘No, no, no, we don’t want this. We want fancier food,’ so that’s what we did. But I always had this desire to do more cafe stuff.”
“You can get some really awful cheeseburgers in the world,” he says. “But when you have house-made buns, vine-ripened tomatoes, hand-packed patties, then you can get something that’s really great.”
