**LIVE** Fantastic Fall Food-stravaganza! with LOTS OF PICS! ~*~Updated!! 10/30~*~

We then made the mad dash to grab your wine glass & plate and rush into the 2nd holding area. We ended up about 3 people deep from the front. Let me tell you, when they call this the "Running of the Bulls" they aren't kidding! At 6:30 there was sheer insanity as easily 750 people surged forward, people took off like their life depended on getting a table and now I truly appreciate what many meant by the rudeness of guests! There was pushing, shoving, and all out war to grab any table anywhere. By the time I got 2/3rd of the way through the hall I sprinted with everything I had and pounced onto a table (when in rome do as the romans do!). It was nuts. I have no issues with people saving tables, but there really has to be a better system than that! We were at the very back, but actually loved the location, it was right beside a stage for entertainment.

I have never attended Party for the Senses but your description here is one of the reasons that I haven't considered it. With my luck no matter how hard I tried, I would be one of the people at the end of the table grab.

Anyways, I can't to hear the details!

Congrats on the upgrade - that's magic if I've ever heard it!

Thanks for the pics and comments from PFTS. Two weeks in a row now with uber-large crowds. It's enough to make me think about skipping it next fall ... trying to enjoy the evening with that many people would just end up annoying me.

Can't wait to read more - hope you have a great trip!

[TigerKat]

I am really kicking myself for cancelling 50's PT last week! The food looks soooo good!

 

[Donald is #1]

The food from both 50's and Tokyo Dining look so good!

What is Edamame?

 

[TinkerBelle_325]

Edamame are steamed soybean pods, they are usually coated in a bit of salt and resemble peapods but the beans themselves are sweeter. They are a snack in Japan.

Looks like Kona Cafe has had a menu change since the 08/08 update on AllEars. I didn't know they served sushi now. Was the sushi an appetizer or entree? It looks good! Do you remember if there were other changes to the menu? I also didn't know you could get the 'Ohana dessert there, that is one of my favorite desserts ever... but Kona always has some really good desserts too. Are you going to give reviews of your meals at some point?

Hi!

The menu has changed a little bit, and the Kona Island Coffee Bar is a sushi bar at night now, so from 5 till 10pm you can order sushi at Kona as well.

Yes, I'm definitely going to do reviews! Its just easier to quickly put up pics and go over my notes when i get home
