The staples of local food....
What’s this you say? A post? Can’t be…..if any of you are still reading, sorry for the long hiatus. Been whittling away at other projects and neglected this space. Fall will be better….I promise….
in the meantime, please check out my recent story for National Public Radio’s online column Kitchen Window about the real food of Hawaii. You’re thinking poi, right? Think again….

You just reminded me how much I miss poke, a favorite party pu-pu when I lived in Hawaii. It also reminded me of the time I brought Cincinnati Chili Dip to a party there. My family used to send me cans of Skyline Chili to remind me of home, and once I made a chili dip appetizer that Ohioans eat with Fritos. In Honolulu, my island friends scooped it over rice and ate it with chopsticks. Only in Hawaii!
Awesome. That’s what I’m talking about…..
