Belton says aloha to new Hawaiian-themed restaurant
Two brothers are leveraging their experience with Oregon-based restaurant chain Hawaiian Time to launch a similar concept in the Kansas City metro.
The first Hawaiian Bros Island Grill is slated to open in February at 1112 E. North Ave. in Belton, which will feature Hawaiian-inspired décor and signature items, such as a teriyaki chicken dish called Huli Huli Chicken. Brothers Cameron and Tyler McNie already are searching for additional locations and plan to open as many as a dozen restaurants in the Kansas City metro.
For the Belton location, the McNie brothers teamed up with longtime friends Paul Worcester and Joel Worcester, also brothers, who own Kansas City apartment community investment owner/operator Worcester Investments LLCto buy a 2,800-square-foot space that formerly housed a Long John Silver's.
"This is a very similar yet different concept than Hawaiian Time. We have rebranded the look and feel to be our own as well as added some new takes on the menu while keeping the core of the traditional plate lunch intact," Cameron McNie said in a release. "We've been doing this for 14 years and think we have a good idea of what works."
McNie said the Belton area was attractive for several reasons, including a growing population, the success of area businesses and access to a stand-alone building.
"We feel our food and price point will be appealing to a wide demographic, allowing us to be successful wherever we are located. We believe the Midwest is ready for Hawaiian plate lunch."

Alleged Cop Killer Waives preliminary hearing today in Henry County
When Officer Gary Michael pulled McCarthy over about 10:45 p.m. Aug 6th, McCarthy had warrants out for his arrest on weapons offenses — one in neighboring Johnson County and one in New Hampshire, where McCarthy spent most of his adult life, according to court records. At age 23, McCarthy had been convicted in a stabbing there.
In recent years, McCarthy never seemed to have a job, according to acquaintances in Clinton, passing his time playing video games, hunting and fishing, and collecting monthly payments from a trust fund.
Neighbors said they were surprised — but not shocked — in Aug. when authorities accused McCarthy of shooting Michael to death during the Sunday night traffic stop, touching off a two-day manhunt that ended with McCarthy’s arrest. They described a man with few friends, no apparent vocation and a temper.
McCarthy was scheduled for a preliminary hearing today but that was waived by the defendant. McCarthy is now set for arraignment in circuit court on Jan. 22nd.
While McCarthy mostly stayed off of law enforcement’s radar in Clinton, he had been arrested numerous times in New Hampshire, on charges of robbery and assault, along with traffic offenses. A 2011 warrant for his arrest on a weapons charge and other offenses was still active when he became a murder suspect in Clinton.
In 2001, a jury convicted McCarthy of stabbing a young man during a brawl in Manchester, N.H., leaving the victim with severe injuries to his neck, chest and stomach.
More recently, a Missouri Highway Patrol trooper reportedly found McCarthy with a .45-caliber Glock handgun in his waistband during a July 2015 traffic stop in Johnson County, Mo. As a felon, he would be committing a felony by carrying a firearm.
The trooper found McCarthy’s New Hampshire arrest warrants, but they didn’t require him to be extradited, according to court records.
In his report, the trooper noted McCarthy’s bloodshot eyes and slurred speech, writing that McCarthy told of spending time in prison in New Hampshire for the stabbing.
Johnson County prosecutors charged McCarthy with being a felon in possession of a firearm, a felony, and the court issued a warrant for his arrest in December 2015.
The warrant was still on the court docket when, police say, Officer Michael pulled McCarthy over for a registration violation and the shooting started.
After two days of searching, law enforcement officers found a wounded McCarthy walking along a highway near Truman Lake, about 16 miles from Clinton. He had been shot, according to the patrol.
Troopers arrested McCarthy, taking him first to a Kansas City hospital and then to the Henry County jail in Clinton.
