University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Hilo<\/a> Athletic Director Pat Guillen started up some friendly cooking competition with his fellow athletic directors (AD<\/abbr>) from the Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> universities. The AD<\/abbr>s are making their best dishes then challenging another AD<\/abbr> to see if they can handle the heat in the 2020 Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> AD<\/abbr> Grindz challenge.<\/p>\n

Inspired by UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa men\u2019s golf coach Ronn Miyashiro<\/strong> and his cooking tutorials on \u2018Bows Kitchen, the competition kicked off with Guillen who demonstrated his favorite comfort food—Mom\u2019s Fried Chicken<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We cannot wait to see our students, fans, corporate sponsors and entire community back on campus at our events when it is deemed safe,” said Guillen in his video. “Until then enjoy the fun videos and I am anxious to see what my colleagues and friends at UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa, Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Pacific and Chaminade cook up!”<\/p>\n

Guillen then challenged UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa\u2019s AD<\/abbr> David Matlin<\/strong>, who was quick to act and fired up a new \u2018Bows Kitchen episode featuring his famous “Chicken As Good As It Gets<\/a>” recipe. In the video, Matlin replied to Guillen, “On behalf of Rainbow Wahine and Rainbow Warrior nation, challenge accepted!”<\/p>\n
