'Taste' is my favorite annual event on Kaua'i and is basically my Christmas-Chanukah in June. Last year I decided to buy a new shirt for the event. I tried the shirt on and it looked very nice, a medium tight fitting pullover aloha shirt. I decided right before leaving to change to my regular wardrobe, a loose fitting T-shirt and shorts with a draw string, I am so glad I did and here's why;

The brunch which features over 40 chefs strutting their signature dishes, 10 plus beer, wine and soft drink beverage vendors allows you to eat and drink to your hearts content. The 10 plus musical bands from Rock' roll to Big band allow you to burn off a few calories and make room for even more delicious ono grinds--then take a breather over at the silent auction to make room for the Lappert's ice cream station. Therefore remember to wear loose fitting clothing to get in as much as possible.

The wood fired flat-bread brushed with olive oil and herbs presented by The Feral Pig restaurant along with their slow smoked Porchetta, a savory boneless pork roast of Italian culinary tradition was one of many ono food exhibits at the 25th milestone silver anniversary at the Taste of Hawai'i. Everyone who tasted this culinary delight had two things to say, "Broke Da Mout and Wop Da Jaw" ( meaning delicious in Hawaiian pidgin) (photo bottom page)

Seriously,"Taste" is not only a taste of food but a taste of community, a taste of charity and a taste of fellowship."Taste" is a community event sponsored by the Kapa'a Rotarian's. All profits go towards scholarships for our local youth and fund international projects such as providing safe drinking water and sanitation in schools for people in poverty stricken areas around the world.

My friends joke, but it's true. I am a hermit. I live for this one event.
There's still time to get tickets for this awesome event. I look at this event as free since all proceeds go to charity, not only that you can write off a portion of your ticket on next years tax returns! Wow! Such a deal! Ticket's are $100.00 in advance and 125.00 at the door. Tickets are cheaper now than they have ever been if you take inflation into consideration. Tickets were $100.00 29 years ago and 29 years ago $100.00 was worth about what $165.00 is on today's market in Hawaii.

In 2015 I had a flip cam that I bought on closeout at Costco for only $25.00 and wound up getting it on KHON T.V. with Joe Moore's nightly news out of Honolulu. Check it out. I was amazed what the guys in editing did with my video from a flip cam. Here it is.
