Episode 8: Series FINALE!

Aloha my HUNGRY HIPPOS!

Welcome back to our Series FINALE of Tourist Eateries! Sadly, it has come to an end of our mouth watery, tasty treats adventures. But hold back those tears our friends! We have an epic episode awaiting for you!

As you know, each episode we rated each restaurant by taste, convenience, service and cleanliness, scaling from 1 to 10 for each category. Then we gave an overall rating.
Since we targeted places specifically for tourists, we set our sights on two locations that are conveniently located in town. We visited the ever-so-popular Waikiki and the shopping mecca for tourists, Ala Moana Center. 

For our FINALE, we decided to count down our favorite restaurants, starting from our least favorite to the best #1 tourist restaurant to eat. Ready to begin?
