TASTE THE BEST RESTAURANTS IN HONOLULU FOR TWO DOLLARSAll in one placeby Madelyn Miller
The only problem is getting to all these places in a few days and trying each of their signature dishes.
I actually went to three restaurants based on the tastes at Taste of Honolulu There is a wait at the most popular booths. This year over 50,000 people attended and helped raise money for Easter Seals. (I can't think of a better reason to eat than for charity) When you think that every mouthful helps a good cause, you feel much less guilty about the calories. Jeff Wynd of Hyatt Regency Waikiki says they prepare 4,000 portions of each item they offer. TASTE OF HONOLULU STRATEGIES Map out your morsels from the program, and then walk around to check out the items and lines.

One of my favorite pastimes when traveling is tasting the local cuisine. I research all the restaurants, comparing the reviews in guidebooks and making a list of all the places I want to eat.
In Oahu, the solution is simple. Plan your trip for the third week in June and buy a $2 ticket to Taste of Honolulu. The entrance fee allows you to buy script for 24 top local restaurants offering over six dozen items. You can sample individual dishes. In fact, you can even indulge in all desserts--such as Tropilicious Ice Cream, Double Double Chocolate Cake from Indigo, Bye Bye American Pecan Pie from Texas Rock and Roll Sushi Bar and a chocolate souffle with vanilla bean ice cream from A Pacific Cafe.
