10 Great Deserts in Honolulu: Hawaii Dining with John Heckathorn
Where: Oahu || Grouped in: Oahu Food || Tagged:
Honolulu Magazine food editor John Heckathorn eats a lot of calories searching for the best deserts in Honolulu, including for breakfast. The chocolate cake at Roy's has long been as staple, as has been Mark Ellman's Caramel Miranda at Longhi's. I was suprised to see an Affogato at Mondo Gelato but its a great gelateria in Hawaii.

So Ono! Maui's Rural North Shore Has a New Gelateria
Where: Maui || Grouped in: Maui Food || Tagged:
Sure, you've got shave ice all over the islands. But Hawaii, despite its increasingly cosmopolitan nature, hasn't yet caught up with the gelato mania sweeping the Mainland. Shops purveying these lighter versions of ice cream in the true Italian style have yet to run rampant over the Islands. But Paia, of course, is a windsurfing hotbed and stealth cosmopolitan township of the highest order. Which is why Ono Gelato would land there, equipped with three ambitious owners including a third-generation third generation gelataio from Torino, Italy. Gelatos are mostly organic and flavored with local ingredients like lilikoi, Kula strawberries, and Kona coffee. Don't miss, particularly if you are head back from Hana and hungry.

This profile nicely captures the Maya Sotero-Ng and her down-to-Earth mellowness. She's a school teacher. Awesome. This has nothing to do with tourism but it tells you a bit about where Barack comes from.

Where: Maui || Grouped in: Maui Food || Tagged:
Roughly 10,000 Maui readers voted for the annual Best of Maui Dining issue put out by the Maui News (which, sadly, forces you to download a PDF if you want to read the lists online). Some of the big winners? Bev Gannon at Hali'imaile General Store and Mama's Fish House in Paia take the top honors for best restaurants (both are quite nice places). Trilogy win's for best activity (they run some large but well done sailing cruises and snorkel outings). Other categories covered include nightclubs, etc. The layout is very hard to read so keep scrolling for the goodies.
