ANTHRAX Guitarist Checks In From Hawaii

January 2, 2008

ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian recently launched a column on SuicideGirls.com called "Scott Ian's Food Coma" where he writes about his food and travel experiences. An excerpt from the latest installment follows:

"Aloha, my friends, from sunny Oahu. I'm here with my lady and four other couples in a rental house living out our 'Real World' fantasies, except without the drama and the token gay. The booze menu above actually lasted us almost three days and then we had to restock. The cops did come Friday night, so the trip is a success. Three acoustic guitars and eight people drunkenly singing 'Wonderwall'… It was me that called the cops.

"Besides all the liver damage, I have been eating my way across this fine island. The meal at Nobu the other night was the best Matsuhisa created meal in my life (and I've been eating his stuff for 20 years) and Sasabune here is on another level as well. I'll get to the details of those meals in a minute, first you gotta hear about Car Chicken.

"We were coming back from the north shore yesterday and stopped in Haleiwa for some shaved ice (get the Lilikoi, that's passion fruit to us Haole's) and other sundries like a Solo Pipe (I don't smoke but if you smoke weed this is the best thing ever invented.) Haleiwa is a really funky little surf/hippie town populated by locals and Haole's that wanted to escape the reality of the mainland man. There are surf shops, head shops, shaved ice shops and lots of BBQ. People BBQ at their house and set up stands to sell it. You just walk in to their house and they take the whole BBQ chicken and throw it in a plastic bag. No utensils, no napkins. I guess you're supposed to take it home and cut it up and eat it but when you're driving back to the south side of the island and you're hungry, Car Chicken. Five people passing around two bags with whole BBQ chickens in them tearing chunks of meat off with their hands. Messy and good. It had to be done. Ya see, it's not all about fancy-pants meals here."
