Eat Local This Week!
September 27, 2010In an effort to bring attention to Hawaii’s food system and sustainability issues, Kanu Hawaii is asking all of us again to make a difference by taking the Eat Local Challenge. Starting yesterday and continuing through this Saturday, the challenge asks participants to eat only locally grown foods. Currently, more than 75% of our food is imported from out of state, which accounts to over $3 billion that is not being spent here. If barge and air freight to Hawaii were to be interrupted, our islands’ food supplies would only last 14 days. Eat Local aims to bring awareness to this issue and hopes to in turn, strengthen our local food system as a result.
Eating Local doesn’t necessarily mean going to your local eatery and ordering your favorite plate lunch though. Much of what is on that plate may not even be locally grown. The challenge is to find, buy and eat foods that were only grown here. Not exactly an easy task. Thankfully, there are participating markets and restaurants offering special “local” dishes for the week:
- Zippy’s Restaurants – Loco Moco with Local Ingredients
- Town Restaurant – Menu Item with All Local Ingredients
- The Counter, Kahala Mall – Local Ahi Burger
- Big City Diner – Menu Item with Local Ingredients
- Hilo Bay Cafe – Menu Item with Local Ingredients
- Kale’s Natural Foods – Discounts on “Eat Local” Items
- Foodland – Week-Long Menu & Shopping List
- Whole Foods – Eat Local Events In-Store
- KTA Superstores – Specials on Locally-Grown Items
- Kokua Market – Coupon for Local Deli Item
- Umeke Market – Local Kim Chee Burger
For more information, please visit: http://www.kanuhawaii.org/eatlocal/.
I was not paid nor was I even asked to write about this. Just thought it was an important issue that we all need/should be aware of. So what do you say gang? You gonna help support this worthy, and frankly necessary cause? What are your ideas on supporting our local products and economy? Holla!
See you out and about this week! 🙂

News Day Tuesday: Elect Bruno Five-0
September 21, 2010Wow, lots of big Hawaii news as of late. From the election results, to Bruno Mars getting busted for cocaine, to the premiere of Hawaii Five-0. Thought it might be time to dust off “News Day Tuesday” for all y’all to sound off on some of these topics. Holla!
* Election Results?
– Pretty much went how I thought it would.
* Bruno Mars?
– Pretty disappointing. I was interesting in trying to line him up for an interview, but not so much anymore…
* Hawaii Five-0?
– I unfortunately had plans last night and missed it, but hope it does well for the sake of the state. Will definitely try to catch the next one.
* Top Chef?
– I know, I know, it’s not really Hawaii related and the season is already pau, but you guys always seem to wanna talk about it so hear ya go! LOL!
P.S. In case you missed it: Scenes from the Rice Fest! 😉
P.P.S. Here’s Mars’ latest single: Just the Way You Are. Good shtuff nonetheless. 😛
