TASTE THE BEST
RESTAURANTS IN HONOLULU FOR TWO DOLLARS
All 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.
