THE OMNI HUT 

Established 1960
Created in a MILLION MILES OF TRAVEL!!  

While traveling over a million miles as an Air Force Pilot, I continuously pursued my hobby of Polyasian cookery. Good food, good chefs, and good recipes have always intrigued me. In Alaska, they say "gold is where you find it!" Good food, like gold, is where you find it! My recipes have come from many small, obscure, owner-operated restaurants...from friends...from Hong Kong to Panama...from Hawaii to Alaska. The adventure of seeking out better recipes and palatable dishes continuous.

In presenting our humble menu, we favor the Chinese method of Cooking, since Free China's Chief are the unchallenged Chefs of the world. The Chinese have been cooking as an art since 700 BC. This is 2,000 years before the Italian Merchant and Trader, Marco Polo, went to China. I have often wondered if he didn't "weasel" the recipe for spaghetti from the Chinese!... for at the time, the Chinese were serving Main (noodle) Dishes.

The theme for the artistic drawings on the cover of this menu was conceived when I saw two Polynesian stone carvings--one the Goddess of Hula, the other, the God of Harvest. The Artist, Stephen Shively of Peoria, Illinois, did a magnificent job in expressing something I envisioned.
