Ron Magrin, owner of the Koloa Deli, will be hand making meatballs with Kauai beef for his delicious Meatball Subs ($9.25). The meatballs will be folded into a 9-inch house made roll and topped with house-made marinara, provolone cheese and Parmesan cheese. You can get them this Monday, April 15. They’ll be available for as long as they last! Here’s my MidWeek Kauai story about Koloa Deli.

The Eastside is under new ownership and was closed for just over a week for remodeling. They are open now, and the menu is the same. The owners don’t have plans to make major changes.

Papalani Gelato has opened a new Anchor Cove location that features a full coffee bar. Each day a unique coffee grown, harvested, and roasted within the state of Hawaii is featured. The coffee is available by the cup or to purchase by the bag and there is a full range of espresso drinks, freshly brewed coffees, tropical teas, and frozen blended drinks. Freshly baked muffins, scones, cookies, and gluten-free coffee cakes from Passion Bakery in Kapaa are also available. Passion Bakery owner Michael Sterioff uses all natural and organic ingredients as well as local fruit. Papalani Gelato will also serve two types of oatmeal for a healthier breakfast option.

Koloa Rum Company

Good news from Honolulu magazine!

“Hawaii’s rum industry has blossomed, with four Hawaii brands now sitting on liquor store shelves, and rumors of a fifth in the works. We rounded up a half dozen of our non-teetotaling colleagues, opened four bottles of local light rum and a box of palate-cleansing crackers, conducted a blind taste test and declared a winner: KOLOA RUM CO.’s Kauai White. It’s both distilled and bottled locally (not all of the brands can say that) using Garden Isle water and sugar. Before Kauai’s last sugar plantation folded in 2010, Koloa stockpiled tens of thousands of pounds of its sugar, enough to last, at this point, another three to five years. In the meantime, the distillery has planted its own sugarcane and is experimenting with replacing processed sugar with fresh-pressed cane juice. Our taste testers gave second place to Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum, made on Maui. Honorable mentions went to both Old Lahaina Silver Rum (which hinted of rubbing alcohol) and Maui Platinum Rum (with notes of shower curtain and vinyl swimming pool).” Continue Reading →
