We had a chance to stop by the Hukilau Lanai for lunch, and I’m glad we did! We sat at the bar, next to the pool, with a view of the ocean, and enjoyed a ginormous meatball sub for $5.95. You can’t beat that price for well made food on Kauai! Imagine three tender meatballs nestled in chewy bread that is made in-house, and topped with a savory tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. The lunch special changes every day. Tomorrow, starting at 11:30 they’ll have Teriyaki Burgers for $5.95. Follow the Hukilau Lanai Facebook page to keep up with specials.

Last December, when I had the pleasure of covering Merriman’s Fish House for MidWeek Kauai, I learned how dedicated Peter Merriman is to fresh, local food. I was so impressed, I called the article, “Where Farmers Are Rock Stars.” Peter is a mighty force that encourages the livelihood of his sources, nurturing their success and the local economy.

My education was further enhanced when Dan and I videotaped the restaurant’s executive chef Mark Arriola for the Kauai County Farm Bureau’s Kauai Grown campaign. The website is up now, and next Monday’s post will showcase Kauai Grown. If you’d like to learn more about Merriman’s, and watch Mark prepare a signature salad that’s on the menu, click here to watch the video.   Continue Reading →
