BBQ ISLAND STYLE - SOMEWHERE ON GUAM

BBQ ISLAND STYLE
SOMEWHERE ON GUAM

While on Guam, we needed to provide training to a group of contractors that I work with.  The owner of the company decided to combine an employee BBQ with the training.  Wow...what a treat for us.  They cooked up a Guam style BBQ that I will never forget.  Enjoyed some absolutely delicious food, a few cold beverages and time with some really great people.  Shawn Ogo and Dave Laughlin were the ring masters here with Shawn acting as Chef while Dave kept the training and cold beverages flowing.  Shawn knocked the bottom out of his personal recipes serving up some of the best beef, potato salad and seared ahi.  Shawn's Potato Salad was the bomb and I usually don't eat much Potato Salad.  He combined potatoes, egg, bacon, pimentos and a few other ingredients with just enough mayo to not soak the dish.  I went back for thirds and so did my friend.  Would have eaten more if I was not watching my figure.  Shawn's Deviled Eggs were just as good.  Loved the bit of horseradish that he put in this dish.  Enjoyed some really fresh Ahi Poke and Seared Ahi that was caught fresh in Guam.  I could have finished the entire plate of Seared Ahi if I was not full on everything else.  Shawn ended his culinary feast with some of the best Carne Asada I have ever tasted.  Marinade was perfect and better than most Mexican Restaurants I have dined at.  What an incredible meal with some really special people who really know how to enjoy life and take care of each other.  Whether you are in Guam, Hawaii or any other place in the world.  Good people and good food make life happy.  We really appreciated the warm hospitality and cooking of our new Guam friends.
