One of this year’s hottest trends is the authentic cuisine of the amazing Hawaiian Islands. Chef Roy Yamaguchi of Roy’s fame will hosted three of the best chefs f the historically correct Hawaiian fare. With each new group of ethnically diverse settlers Hawaiian cuisine has morphed throughout its history. Chef Ravi Kapur of San Francisco’s adored Liholiho Yacht Club (read more about Chef Ravi Kapur of Liholiho Yacht Club here) and Chef Chris Yang of Aina, also in San Francisco joined Chef Mike Lofaro and Hawaiian Historian, Kainoa Horcajo from The Grand Wailea, Maui to cook up “Aloha Spirit” for the soul.

Flashbacks to me arriving to Pebble Beach Food & Wine jumping for joy at the upcoming Aloha Historic Hawaii Lunch. I was also thrilled as I just had a lovely drive down from San Francisco to Carmel in this Lexus NX 300 F Sport. Wow, this is yet another incredible Lexus vehicle I’ve had the pleasure of borrowing for a weekend away.

Kiawe Smoked Duck, Paiai Duck Confit Manapua, Fried Duck Egg Puree, Noni Jus from Chef Chris Yang & Jordan Keao of Aina San Francisco. This dish was incredible, so flavorful with such incredible texture.

The incredible Kosta Browne 2016 Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir served during lunch. This was amazing as Kosta Browne is one of my favorite California Wineries so what a treat enjoying this with the delicious Hawaiian cuisine. And it get’s even better….
