The 29th Annual Taste of Hawaii
Taste of Hawai'i-2017
Each picture is worth a thousand words!
The 'Taste of Hawai'i' is Kaua'i's signature event-
always happening the first Sunday in June.
Many visitors plan their vacations around this event.
Locals count the days until next years 'Taste' because of its popularity.
I do not believe there is a better event that happens anywhere anytime ever in the state of Hawai'i. If you have never been to the 'Taste of Hawai'i' mark your calendars for the 30th annual 'Taste of Hawai'i'-the first Sunday in June of 2018!
I am told there will be special events to mark the 30th Anniversary, how much more special can this event get?
Special thanks to the Rotary club of Kappa for organizing this great event and donating all proceeds to charity.
Folks, this is it! Life doesn't get much better!
Bon Appétit Broke Da mout and Wap da jaw!

Chef Christopher Kim of the St Regis in Princeville along with his Sou chef prepares one of their signature dishes of Korean Braised beef cheeks-Crispy rice, Kimchi slaw with a pineapple glaze. The chef told me the beef cheeks are from Japanese cattle and are marinated and slow cooked for 13 hours. This was definitely a favorite for many at the annual event including me!

Hana Hou-Encore-My favorite memory of any Taste!

| The smartest couple I ever met at the Taste of Hawaii was back in 2015 at the 27th annual Taste. They decided to get married at the Taste! They brought to preacher and 4 close friends and 100 bucks a pop and had all they could eat and drinlk along with 6 musical bands from jazz to big band , rock and roll. These folks got married in style on a limited bufget and they will always remain in my memory as the coolest couple. If I ever get married, not a bad idea!
