My Own Personal Chef at Hula Grill Waikiki

Kim Steutermann Rogers
Destination: Oahu
Article Source: Blog Post
As the sun set on Waikiki, the rest of our table, some 20 diners, received their pupu, appetizer, before Lisa and me. It wasn't that the courteous servers at Hula Grill hadn't tried to place the dish they called "Smoked Big Island Abalone BLT" in front of us. More than one had tried. "No," we said again and again, shaking our heads. "We ordered vegetarian."

Food Photography? Are You a Nuisance?

Kim Steutermann Rogers
Destination: Hawaii Island, Kauai, Maui, Oahu
Article Source: Blog Post
In my three-year-old blog post, I acquiesced to the food photography trend by taking my own and allowing that the act of photographing food was akin to photographing a beautiful Hawaiian sunset or Hawaiian monk seal snoozing on the beach. It captured a moment in time. It served as a keepsake. It recorded a special moment. But hot dogs? Read More
Guest Blogger: Malia Yoshioka's Marathon Training Secret

"While it's nice to think we live in our own endless summer, it's good to have a little variety once in a while. I tend to enjoy the subtle shift of the seasons. Fall is bittersweet in Hawaii. Although our leaves stay evergreen, the arrival of Fall means no more lychee and mangoes on the trees, slightly cooler temperatures, rain showers (and rainbows), and the beginning of another season: Honolulu Marathon training season." Guest blogger Malia Yoshioka shares her secret for sticking to her marathon training. Here's a hint: It has to do with food!

A Garden Basket of Farm Stories

A couple weeks ago, I toured Kahuku Farms on Oahu’s North Shore. While I was on Oahu, I also noshed my way through Kapiolani Community College’s Farmers’ Market on a Saturday morning, eating a spiral of sweet potatoes and taro on a stick. (Not deep-fat, batter-fried!) Read More
Going Vegan at Roy's Waikiki Beach Restaurant

Article Source: Blog Post
The hum of Roy’s Waikiki Beach restaurant was in full swing. Every table in the open-style dining room was taken, a buzz of conversation floated throughout the room. In the exhibition kitchen, sous chef, line cooks and expediters swirled around executive chef Jason Peel, making the restaurant’s signature dishes, like misoyaki butterfish, braised short ribs and, of course, Roy’s ever-popular chocolate souffle.

Wailana Coffee House

In the Hawaii Five-0 scene, Steve McGarrett sat at a booth across from a new member of his 5-0 task force at the Waikiki diner, the Wailana Coffee House. Their verbal banter aside, McGarrett was really on a stake-out. Detectives Danny Williams and Chin Ho Kelly paced the sidewalk outside, on the corner of Ala Moana Boulevard and Ena Road, in contact with McGarrett by a wireless radio ear piece. I sit across from the booth at which McGarrett sat, long vacated by the special ops lieutenant commander, of course. Read More
Sharks, Shrimp & Pie

I convinced my co-worker Andrea to kick off a couple hours early and take me to one of her favorite snorkeling beaches—Shark’s Cove, a few miles past Waimea Bay on Oahu’s North Shore. She seemed gung ho, but when I upped the offer with dinner at a nationally-recognized shrimp truck, she was all in, as they say. Read More
No More Shark's Fin Soup

Scratch shark’s fin soup off the menu. It was bound to happen. Either the restaurants would run out of shark fins themselves, because certain shark species are near extinction. Or our society would wake up and say, “No more.” The latter happened. A year ago, then Governor Linda Lingle signed a bill into law that made the possession, sale, trade or distribution of sharks and shark parts—that is, fins—illegal.

Today is Earth Day. This weekend, as usual, thousands of people will head to the beaches around the Hawaiian Islands. Mahaulepu on Kauai. Haleiwa Beach Park on Oahu. Kaanapali on Maui. Kahaluu Beach Park on Big Island. Most will walk the shoreline or wade into the water. Many will slip snorkel masks over their faces to explore life under the lip of the ocean’s surface. Some will kayak, canoe, surf or sail. A few will participate in the many beach clean up days scheduled to coincide with Earth Day. Read More
