One of our favorite places on Maui was Front Street in Lahaina. It was full of shops with everything from trinkets to ice cream to clothes! The street was full of island history, too. I will be sharing more about that tomorrow. Today, I want to share a special restaurant on Front Street.

When we got to this street, we had to walk up and down it for awhile just to get the feel of the atmosphere. For part of the street there were stores on one side of the street and ocean on the other. Finally we decided we had to choose a place to eat. Right away Cheeseburger in Paradise caught our eye.

We went in the front door and were immediately led up stairs to a stuffed room. People were almost sitting on top of each other. We thought...What have we gotten into? But everyone was so happy and friendly we followed the lady to a table in the corner. You can see it beside the flag in the picture.

We had a great view of the street and ocean. Our waiter came up and gave us the menu. Then he noticed Darrell's hat.  He asked if he went to ASU. Darrell said, No, we love to visit there though! Well, our waiter had gone to ASU and he soon became our best friend!

We ordered a cheeseburger, of course, and had a great meal. The food, as well as the atmosphere, was great. When we looked at our bill, we realized that our new "friend" had given us a discount since we were ASU buddies! Go Red Devils!
