If you love food, wine and Hawaii, you’ll want to know about Hawaii Food & Wine Paradise, a three-day O‘ahu festival for those who appreciate great food and wine, or, in the words of its organizer, D. Keola Lloyd, “anyone who passionately pursues the finest of life’s pleasures.” The event,
Hawaii’s love for Spam is legend. We love it in Spam musubi. We have it for breakfast, like most folks would bacon and eggs. Top Hawaii chefs love experimenting with it. You’ll find at least a half dozen varieties of it on our supermarket shelves. Spam is even on the menu at every Hawaii McDonald’s
Hawaii is the only U.S. state where coffee is grown. You’ll find coffee farms on five Hawaiian Islands—Maui, Molokai, Oahu, Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii. But the Big Island lays claim to the Hawaii-grown bean that is one of the most in-demand and most expensive in the world. Kona coffee is that prized
Here’s a side of Oahu most visitors never see. We recently accompanied superchef Nobu Matsuhisa on a visit to Ma‘o Farm (Motto: No panic, go organic) in the Lualualei Valley, nestled amid the Waianae Mountains.

HAWAII Magazine reader Lisa E. Weaver e-mailed us with a question about one of Oahu’s most popular annual food festivals: Will there be a Spam Jam festival in Waikiki this year? If so, when? You ask. We answer … with great news for Lisa and other Spam Jam fans. A date for the 2010 Waikiki
HAWAII Magazine reader Roy Manubag, of Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, wrote us with a question about a longtime favorite Hawaii comfort food: Where can I order udon from Hawaii and would you have a recipe for noodle broth using ebi (shrimp)?

Hard Rock Café has established restaurants across the globe and more than 40 restaurants in America, but only the Hawaii locations—Honolulu and Maui—specialize in a fresh-fish menu. There are four entrées on the fresh-fish menu: fish tacos, the fajita-style ahi (tuna), the ahi tuna sandwich and, of course, the fresh catch of the day. Our
Fresh, whole Maui-grown pineapple will not be a relic of Hawaii’s past after all. A consortium of Maui-based investors on Thursday announced the formation of Haliimaile Pineapple Co. Ltd., a new company that would immediately continue farming and harvesting the sweet and juicy fruit on 1,000 acres of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. land.
