It’s that time of the year again, where you, the customer and critics, can help vote for what you think is the best restaurant in Hawai’i. Our favorite Hawaiian food restaurant is Helena’s, and we firmly stand behind this statement. You can vote for them by visiting Honolulu Magazine. While voting, you will also be entered to win a dinner for two courtesy of Helena’s. All voting must be done by the 31st of August. Support Local!
Mahalo nui loa
Releasing tomorrow, June 22
Aloha kakou!
We salute local companies / businesses with tomorrow’s release once again. It’s the perfect and ideal way to re-stimulate our repressed, troubled economy; by cultivating and working off our aina, manufacturing and producing locally, distributing locally and living off the aina, in turn the money we spend goes right back into the same businesses. This saves us from the trouble of spending more money on importing which always leads us to even more spending (importation taxes, cost of oil, among other taxes, etcetera.)
The details of the release: an all black t-shirt with a graphic that reads Support Local, where each letter is composed of one letter from 12 different, well-known local businesses. Backside features a tonal crown. FYI: Those whom follow us on our Facebook Fan Page and participate in our Facebook Challenges, we have yet another contest which is premiering here on the blog first. The contest rules as follows:
Take a close look at the second photo, and attempt to correctly name which company each letter in the design is from. The first person to email us the correct names of each of the 12 local companies used in this design will win a FITTED shirt of your choice (from the shop, depending on size availability). Good luck!




Words By: Kaboe Kavapalu
I have been living in Hawaii for a couple years now, and one thing that I miss most about LA is the food, no disrespect to the plethora of culinary offerings that are available here in Hawai’i, it’s just what I grew up eating isn’t present at the moment. So before I get attacked for this statement, let me explain…
Imagine if you, growing up in Hawai’i, moved to the mainland and you realize that finding a good Hawaiian meal, such as Helena’s, is like finding a diamond in the rough; for the most part, the closest thing you are going to get is L&L. This isn’t a bad thing, but it sure isn’t a large serving of pipikaula, some lomi lomi salmon and a large bowl of poi, feel me? Trust me, I love the food in Hawai’i, just missing a couple of things, like a good taco stand, a pupuseria, traditional Jamaican food, and so on. Which brings me to why I am writing this.
