Kam’s goal was to be constructively encouraging to eateries while honest with readers as to what they were getting.
Nadine Kam, followed by readers of both the Honolulu Star-Bulletin and Honolulu Star-Advertiser for her spirited coverage of the local restaurant industry, fashion and music, died Tuesday night in Waipahu after a battle with cancer. She was 63.
Kam joined the Honolulu Star-Bulletin as a copy editor in 1988, becoming a page designer and advancing to features editor in 1998, but she became best known for her “Weekly Eater” restaurant review columns.
