MEMORABLE MEALS an unforgettable dining experience

By Simplicio Paragas photography by sebastian sayegh

LIFE IS ONE LONG WEEKEND

at Tommy Bahama’s Restaurant & Bar, where celebrations are the norm and not the exception. On the eve of a wedding reception, John Pali was adding the finishing touches to a two-tiered cake, which was a special request by the bride and groom. “We have a private dining room for smaller parties but we also have our open lānai, which can be partially bought out,” says Pali, Tommy Bahama’s executive sous chef. “I think the appeal to Tommy Bahama’s is that you can come here, and just chill and relax.”

Guests can also experience a range of island flavors. The seasonal salad, for example, is composed of chunks of red and golden beets set atop a dollop of goat cheese and garnished with arugula leaves, baby cherry tomatoes and macadamia nuts. A popular appetizer, the ahi “tacos” are served in a crispy wonton shell and stuffed with an island-inspired slaw then finished with a wasabi-and-avocado crème.

“We let the essence of ingredients speak for themselves.”

A favorite among locals and visitors alike since 1976, Longhi’s is well known for its iterations on Mediterranean coastal cuisine and supper-club elegance. The best seller both day and night is the catch of the day, which is actually four different types of fresh fish prepared with delicacy and expertise. Diners in the mood for something light often look to appetizers, and many choose the king crab, accompanied by slices of avocado, local strawberries and a variety of citrus, all drizzled with a tangy Dijon vinaigrette.

“We offer high quality ingredients and we make everything we can from scratch,” says general manager Michael Rose. “We’ve always sourced the best ingredients possible, whether it’s for our food program or our cocktail menu.

In terms of entrées, seafood selections abound. One notable dish is the cilantro-and-ginger-crusted mahimahi propped up on a crispy edamame rice cake and set in a pool of shrimp broth with speckles of chili oil. The balance of flavors—from tart to acidic—works in tasteful harmony. Another stellar entrée is the king salmon bowl, a healthy mélange of red quinoa, baby lettuce, island-style slaw, roasted corn salsa, avocado and toasted almonds, all drizzled with a tangy citrus miso vinaigrette.

“We call it Coastal inspired American cuisine with an emphasis on seafood,” Pali says. “Our restaurants are famous for first-class, delectable flavors with a tropical twist.”

We let the essence of ingredients speak for themselves.”

A play on the classic French steak au poivre, the ahi au poivre is equally as satisfying as its filet mignon counterpart.

Encrusted with coarse black peppercorns, the ahi is gently seared to a pink hue then surrounded by a rich green peppercorn-garlic-and-brandy sauce, and served with Big Island Alii oyster mushrooms.

“It’s not unusual for us to have larger parties of 20 to 25 guests,” Rose says.

“Longhi’s has long been a place for special occasions and celebrations.”

The same could be said about Ruth’s Chris Steak House, which is known as a place to celebrate any milestone event.

Amid the proliferation of steak houses on Maui, or nationwide for that matter, Ruth’s Chris remains a stalwart in this culinary genre. And for good reason.

Its “Cowboy” bone-in ribeye still ranks high among visitors and island residents, who prefer the marbling and fat content over the leaner filet.

“It has to be medium rare,” says general manager Randy Spencer. “I think our service and the quality of our steaks sets us apart from other restaurants. What we provide is more than just a great meal but a great experience overall.”

In addition to premium cuts of beef and fresh seafood, the upscale establishment also showcases a host of appetizers, such as barbecue shrimp sautéed in butter and garlic; and a crab stack, a ramekin-shaped medley of diced avocado and mango that’s topped with shreds of Colossal blue crab.

“It tastes as good as it looks,” Spencer says. “Another one of our signature dishes is the Heirloom tomato salad, which comes with fresh mozzarella and an aged balsamic glaze.”

And every memorable meal should end with dessert. So be sure to save room for Ruth’s Chris’ signature warm white chocolate bread pudding.

IT’S 10:55 IN THE MORNING ON A

Thursday and the last stack of macadamia nut pancakes and Denver omelet are coming out of the kitchen. With lunch service beginning immediately after breakfast, Charlene Walker has little time to catch her breath at Cheeseburger Grille and Tap Room.

“Not many people know we serve breakfast,” says Walker, the restaurant’s general manager. “And even fewer know that we offer a $7.99 breakfast special, which comes with two eggs, hash brown, toast and coffee; no substitutions allowed.”

Casual and fun, Cheeseburger Grille and Tap Room is one of those places that you’ve got to visit at least once while you’re on vacation. With the word cheeseburger as part of its name, it’s no surprise that this would be one of the restaurant’s signature items … even for breakfast.

“It’s an all-in-one breakfast,” says restaurant manager Christopher McKinney. “You got the egg, the bacon and hash brown, all smashed on top of our burger. You’re going to get messy eating it but you’re also going to love it.”

At a neighboring table, Heather Carmichael

Wenger and daughter Ashlyn Wenger were sharing one of these hearty breakfast cheeseburgers, giving their thumbs of approval after a single bite. “It’s really good,” says Carmichael Wenger, with her daughter nodding in agreement. “And it’s a lot of food for a single person.”

Hungry diners can also expect generous portions at The Pint & Cork, the popular gastropub that opened three years ago. A bank of suspended flat screens airs different sporting events, as guests begin to belly up to the bar for lunch and to watch the Houston Astros defeat Tampa Bay Rays to clinch the division series.

Known for its gourmet pub fare, this popular hotspot offers an eclectic menu that ranges from deviled eggs Rockefeller and garlic Parmesan fries to Herve’s huli chicken and a dish called the “BELT.” “It’s our version of a BLT, but with an egg,” explains The Pint & Cork’s managing partner Scott Pacer, “and hence the name BELT.” Layered with slices of crispy smoked bacon, an over-easy egg, avocados and tomatoes, the hearty brioche sandwich requires both hands and extra napkins.

For a classic comfort dish, order the gooey macaroni

“We want our guests to feel nostalgic when they eat here.” the sauces, the pata makes for a savory entrée.

A riff on the Southern staple known as Hoppin’ John, the Hoppin’ Juan is Lineage’s iteration, prepared with garlic rice, black-eyed peas, oxtail— instead of the traditional bacon or ham hock—and all covered in marungay (leaves from the so-called “Tree of Life”). Add a bone marrow for a gourmet touch.

Ramshur also offers homemade look funn that’s stuffed with Kona abalone and a shrimp-infused XO sauce. The smoke meat is another signature dish prepared with sweet Duroc pork, lychee, squash, broccolini, shiso and sweet onions.

“We’re also introducing a new tasting menu,” Ramshur says. “It’ll probably be between six and eight courses, and it’ll always be a surprise.” and cheese with bits of lobster. Another hefty lunch option is the “Bib” burger, which is topped with bacon and a sunny-side-up egg for added protein.

“We grind the beef every day in house,” Pacer says of the patty. “And we hand cut our fries, too.”

This level of detail also exists at Lineage, where executive chef Robert Ramshur leads a talented team of chefs. Ranked as one of Bon Appétit’s Top 50 best new restaurants across the United States, Lineage is a new dining experience that encourages family-style dining.

“We want our guests to feel nostalgic when they eat here,” Ramshur says. “It’s all about special celebrations, from graduation parties to baby’s first lū‘au.”

The crispy pata (pig trotters or knuckles), when available, is a dish that’s definitely shared family-style and demands days of preparation. Simply cured with garlic, black pepper and Hawaiian sea salt for 12 hours, the pata is then steamed for four hours. Afterwards, it’s air-dried for two days and deep-fried twice before being served. The result is a crackling texture yet moist and tender meat. Scissors are provided to cut into the pata, which is accompanied by three condiments: fina‘denne’ (a spicy soy mixture), banana ketchup and “Braddah Tommy’s” concoction (a pork-liver-based paste). Wrapped in lettuce and slathered with any one—or all three, if you want—of 34

JUSTICE FOR ALL

COMPASSION AND CARE

December’s partner, Friends of the Children’s Justice Center (FCJC), places an emphasis on the social welfare of children who have been traumatized by abuse and neglect. FCJC works to be proactive, rather than reactive. Its three-part mission is: (1) to provide assistance to abused and neglected children in Maui; (2) to promote prevention of child abuse and neglect; and (3) to support the Children’s Justice Center of Maui. In the past year, they’ve provided funds for such direct services as education, tutoring, counseling and after-school programs to over 900 children, distributed over 2,500 children’s Christmas gifts and reached 8,000 children and parents through community events. They also help fund the Children’s Justice Center of Maui, where suspected victims of child sexual abuse and extreme physical abuse are brought in for interviews and potential forensic examinations.

January’s organization is Hospice Maui. For more than 35 years, they have been serving the Maui community with quality hospice care. Besides carrying out the required services provided by all hospices, Hospice Maui goes above and beyond by providing a warm and comfortable environment for patients and their family or caregivers. That level of service can only come from a deep understanding of Maui’s diverse community.

In December 2016, they opened the Hospice Maui Hale, offering an additional service: 24-hour hospice care, seven days a week. By doing so, they’re providing a beautiful, safe and welcoming place for their patients to spend their last days or weeks of life when they can’t be at home.

INCUBATOR FOR FOODPRENEURS

February sees a pairing with an organization that’s been around since 1955. The University of Hawaiʻi Foundation is the central fundraising organization for the UH System and is contracted by the Board of Regents to be the sole provider of fundraising and alumni services. In addition to fundraising, the Foundation manages more than 6,000 gift accounts for the benefit of the university and its students. On Maui, the Foundation helps support Maui College’s Food Innovation Center (MFIC), the first in-state incubator that fosters Agribusiness and Foodpreneurs.

Located in Kahului, MFIC aims to build a stronger, economically diverse and sustainable Maui by supporting the value-added food industry. It’s also a resource hub for new and established food entrepreneurs, who endeavor to bring their products to market locally, regionally and nationally.

POSITIVE MOMENTUM

In honor of National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, April’s partnership is with Imua Family Services. Imua means “to move forward,” which is what they are committed to helping children do. Since 1947, they’ve been operating with the mission of “empowering families and their children to reach their full potential.” They do so by providing family-centered therapeutic services for infants, toddlers and preschool children who are facing disabilities and/or challenges in their development and behavior.

According to executive director Dean Wong, Imua Family Services aims to cultivate “a better understanding of the extent of the problems that not only children with a crippling disease or disability have, but also those who are born premature, or have a developmental concern or delay.”

THE ART OF‘UKULELE learn to play the tiny instrument

By Simplicio paragas | Photography by isaac aronjilla

THEY STRUM FREELY LOOKING,

down at the frets of their ‘ukulele, only to briefly look up to watch instructor Austin Jay’s technique and finger placement. “Lock the ‘ukulele in the crook of your arm and across your chest,” Jay instructs the dozen students in attendance. Even language isn’t a barrier for Jay when he teaches his classes on Mondays and Fridays at The Shops at Wailea. He smiles and nods in approval as his students begin to feel comfortable with the tiny instrument.

Part educational, part music lesson, Jay encourages students to interact and not to be shy about playing

the wrong chord or strum in the wrong direction.

His students come from all parts of the world, from Inchon and Italy to Tokyo and Toronto. “I’ve learned a lot of hand gestures,” Jay laughs. “Learning to play the ‘ukulele is the universal language.”

No musical instrument more quickly conjures Hawai‘i and its famous tropical imagery than the ‘ukulele. Pronounced ooh-koo-leh-leh (not “youkoo-lay-lay”), this four-stringed relative of the guitar is an offshoot of the Portuguese cavaquinho. Brought to Hawai‘i in 1879 by immigrants from Madeira Island—part of an autonomous archipelago off the

ICONIC INSTRUMENT (From left) Rachel Trimble of St. Paul, Minn., decided to take a ‘ukulele lesson because she has always been interested in the diminutive guitar; every Monday and Friday evenings, Austin Jay conducts the lessons, teaching his students the ‘ukulele’s simple chords and how to play “You Are My Sunshine.”

Through the past decade, the humble ‘ukulele has enjoyed a meteorical revival and gained much more music credibility.

coast of Portugal—the little instrument quickly caught on in the Islands. Hawai‘i’s king at that time, the well-traveled and sophisticated David Kalākaua, took a liking to the sound of the diminutive string instrument and had it incorporated into performances for the Royal Court. So rapid was its rise to popularity that within 10 years of its arrival in the Islands, the ‘ukulele became Hawai‘i’s most popular musical instrument.

Over the years, the original Portuguese design evolved in Hawai‘i with a look and sound of its own, and the modern ‘ukulele was born.

Growing up, Jake Shimabukuro remembers there weren’t a lot of opportunities to learn how to play the ‘ukulele. “It was either Roy Sakuma’s school or private lessons,” says the ‘ukulele virtuoso. “So, I think it’s fantastic that more places now offer free lessons. The more exposure the instrument gets, the more people will be encouraged and inspired to pick up the ‘ukulele.”

Since his mom put an ‘ukulele in his hands at the age of 4, Shimabukuro has honed his skills, earning 40

local, national and international fame. “I think I’ve just scratched the tip of the surface with the ‘ukulele,” he says. “It has tons of room to grow and so much potential.”

Studying the strumming movements of Jay, Rachel Trimble of St. Paul, Minn., quickly learned how to play “You Are My Sunshine,” much to the delight of her proud husband, Don Trimble, who commented she was the musician of the family.

Seated next to Rachel, Dale Karr of Seattle, Wash., laughed as he fumbled through the song, gesturing his lack of finger dexterity.

“It looks like a fun instrument to play,” says Karr, citing this as his reason for attending the class. “It’s certainly a far cry from Tiny Tim’s ‘Tiptop Through the Tulips.’”

Resembling a miniature guitar, the ‘ukulele comes in four-, six- and eight-string varieties and is fairly simple to play at a basic level of strumming and chording, and can be lots of fun to learn.

SIZING UP (From left) Common types of ‘ukulele include soprano, concert, tenor and baritone. The 21-inch-long soprano, often called “standard” in Hawai‘i, is the second smallest of its kind (only slightly larger than the rare sopranino) and was the original size.

“The ‘ukulele will continue to be popular worldwide, as it gets featured in movies and on recordings. there’s no end in sight."

STRUMMING ALONG (From left) Jay encourages students to interact and not to be shy about playing the wrong chord or strum in the wrong direction. He begins with basic chords and strumming techniques, then launches into favorite island mele (song), sung in both Hawaiian and English.

“Everyone can learn how to play,” Jay says.

“And they can take home the experience and continue to practice.”

Debbie Perez was pleased with her performance after Jay’s class, and so much so that she went to buy her own ‘ukulele that night. “I have always wanted to learn how to play the ‘ukulele,” beams the Kīhei resident. “But I’m a little embarrassed because I live so close and it has taken me so long to just come out and do this.”

Fellow students Nelishah Jiwani and Fazilla Habib of Toronto, Canada, were happy that they took Jay’s class. “It was awesome,” Habib says. “We weren’t planning on taking a lesson but we were glad that we just happened upon it. It’s definitely one of the highlights of our trip.”

The ‘ukulele can vary greatly in quality, appearing as an inexpensive, mass-produced toy for children or costing thousands of dollars when made from prized koa wood. The Shops’ Mele ‘Ukulele offers a wide variety of ‘ukulele, from soprano and tenor to concert and baritone. The 21-inch-long soprano, often called “standard” in Hawai‘i, is the second smallest of its kind (only slightly larger than the rare sopranino or “pocket ‘uke”) and was the original size.

“The ukulele will continue to be popular worldwide, as it gets featured in movies and on recordings,” says luthier and Mele ‘Ukulele owner Michael Rock. “The current craze may settle down a bit, but there’s no end in sight.”

‘Ukulele classes are geared toward any skill level and are held held Mondays, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., and Fridays from 3 to 4 p.m.
