I may not be a professional foodie but I LOVE food. Mahalo to @mariposahawaii @hiagfdn for inviting me to a preview collaboration dinner to benefit the Hawaii Agricultural Foundation. It’s prix fixe, $200 with wine pairing. It’s titled “Enroot” honoring the chefs culinary roots as well as the local farmers and growers. Seating is limited. Save the date: August 24, 5-8pm. Reservation line: 808-948-7575, email: [email protected]. 1st course: warabi salad, 2nd: lavender poached Chilean sea bass, 3rd: (intermezzo tba) 4th: shiso crusted lamb (or venison tba) 5th: white chocolate custard dessert. The food was amazing as well as the wine pairings. I added a Mariposa favorite, a virgin Haleakala! Yummers! #supportlocal #eatlocal #mariposaneimanmarcus #hosted
