Mac 24-7

Ambassador decided to close out the Breakfast in Waikiki category with a bang and headed to the infamous Mac 24-7. Besides the fact that, as in the name, Mac 24-7 is open all the time ("We don't close unless it snows!"), they also serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner items so you can eat what you want when you want!  Mac 24-7 is located conveniently in the Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel on Kuhio Avenue blocks away from our own Kuhio location.

Why is Mac 24-7 so well-known, you may ask. The answer lies within the Mac Daddy Pancake Challenge, which we ordered, but definitely did not take, just to show you the insanity of these pancakes.

You can choose from five different pancake options and we chose the cinnamon streusel with vanilla glaze. Perhaps the portions are hard to distinguish in these photos, but the three gigantic pancakes included in this challenge are each about one foot in diameter!

As shown in the video below, the Mac Daddy Pancake Challenge has been featured on the television show Man vs. Food where even the host Adam Richman could not finish this monstrous feat. There is a hall of fame, however, of those who WERE able to down this plate full of carbs, including two women and the food contest champ Joey Chestnut who gulped these down in 15 minutes. Fascinating yet disgusting.

Besides getting your picture on the Mac 24-7 wall of fame, as the winner of the Mac Daddy Pancake Challenge, you also receive a t-shirt and the gratification of being better than the host of a national television food show. Oh, and you don't have to pay for your pancakes!

Finally getting over the huge deal that is the Mac Daddy Pancake Challenge, Ambassador MUST recognize that Mac 24-7 had fantastic and friendly service, a calm and peaceful ambiance, and delicious tasting pancakes. At Mac 24-7 you don't have to choose quality over quantity.
