Want a meal of culinary experience?
Locals know where to get good food.
In the Lahaina News August 12th headline Want a meal or culinary experience?
Letter to the Editor:
Living in Hawaii, most of us get the same questions from visitors. They all want to know where they can go to dinner. However, we need to know whether they just want to eat, or if they want a dining experience.
Some people like a place with décor and ambiance. Along with it, they get menus describing each portion with many superlatives.
For example, the vegetables specify where they are grown, how they are picked, and placed on a bed of some special herb that comes from still another place.
The steak dishes give the entire history of the steak from the time the cattle were born to when it gets on your plate.
In a fine dining restaurant, reading the menu is like hanging around a library.
But for those who just want to eat, I send them to my kind of place.
