our stomach starts to grumble at around 1 p.m. You call your friend Steve to see if he wants to grab some lunch with you. “Sorry, I just ate,” he says. “Had some pretty good sushi at—” you hang up, not really in the mood for sushi anyway. You put your hand on your stomach and hear an echo as you swallow the last gulp of cold, stale coffee and head down the hallway of your office. You pop your head in your friend’s office, “Dave, eat lunch yet?” Dave pulls his head out from a mound of papers, “No, I’m starving.” Grab your keys, wallet and load up in Dave’s Honda. “Where to?” he asks.

From here, the options are many. Burgers. Burritos. Steak. Curry. Frozen yogurt. New restaurants are opening on bases islandwide faster than you can say “I’m in the mood for whatever.” Get your fresh-wrapped burritos or Asian inspired beef/pork/chicken and veggie bowls made to order at Sumo Burrito or

jumbo burgers at Bulldogs Burgers. Beginning later this year, you can go for an opulent prime cut of beef at Taiyo Steakhouse or an international foray of Indian, Japanese and Thai curries at Curry Dojo. Of course for dessert today, get frozen yogurt at Yo’ishii! Frozen Yogurt with all the toppings including granola, Nilla wafers, gummy bears, Oreo crumbles, sprinkles and nuts. It’s hard to go wrong.
