Macaroni salad is a staple of the Hawaii-style plate lunch. Typically scooped onto lunch plates along with a couple mounds of white rice, the seemingly divergent starches combine forces as ideal pairings to just about any main dish.

The results are in from our latest HAWAII Magazine Facebook Ohana poll question! Earlier this month, we asked our HAWAII Magazine Facebook fans to answer the very tough question: “What’s your favorite Hawaii beach?” As expected, they impressed us with their far-ranging best beach selections—which spanned all the Islands from remote Polihale Beach Park bordering
Barbecue sauce in Hawaii is not the same as barbecue sauce in the Mainland U.S. Order a barbecue mixed-plate lunch at a casual Hawaii eatery and it’s doubtful you’ll get a heaping helping of smoked chicken or ribs slathered with sweet-and-tangy reddish-brown sauce.

In the November/December 2009 issue of HAWAII Magazine, we take you with us on a glider flight above Oahu’s scenic North Shore. With pilots Steve Wood and Meagan Nauman of Original Glider Rides at the controls, I got a chance to sit in the forward cockpit seat of a motorless glider for a breathtaking bird’s
This week in Kailua-Kona, it’s all about the coffee. Kona coffee, that is. The Kona Coffee Cultural Festival—one of Hawaii’s oldest food fests—begins its 39th annual celebration of the bean that made the Kailua-Kona coast famous on Friday, Nov. 6. If you’re on the Big Island of Hawaii this week, make sure you’re in Kona
Maui Land & Pineapple, Inc., announced Tuesday that it would shut down all pineapple operations by the end of the year, after a century of growing the signature Hawaii fruit on the Island. The Kahului, Maui-based land, resort and ag holding company said its Maui Pineapple Co. subsidiary would cease new planting immediately, and end
When we rang up Hawaii singer-songwriter-musician Jack Johnson at his home on Oahu’s North Shore, he immediately gave us a weather and surf report: two to four foot surf, breaking off shore, and clear blue skies. The surf wasn’t tempting enough for a seasoned surfer like Johnson. But that’s good, he’s supposed to be staying
Several hundred fans of the hit ABC TV series Lost gathered in a Waikiki theater on Saturday evening to learn, well, absolutely nothing about the sixth and final season of the mystery drama, currently filming on Oahu.
